2015 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SC65 LCN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a period of significant mechanical decline followed by recent stabilization. The most recent test in March 2025 at 153,136 miles passed with only a minor lightingulation regarding the offside rear registration plate lamp. This indicates a return to compliance following a major failure in late 2022 where the vehicle exhibited multiple critical safety defects across the braking, steering, and electronic control systems. At 153,136 miles over eleven years, the D-Max has covered a high average of approximately 14,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with heavy commercial or utility use. The data shows a notable gap of nearly 14,000 miles between December 2021 and December 2022, followed by over 21,000 miles between November 2023 and March 2025. This consistent high-mileage regimen places considerable strain on heavy-duty components, particularly within the suspension and braking architecture. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and steering assembly, as the December 2022 failure highlighted significant corrosion on the nearside and offside rear flexi brake pipes. While these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the history of play in the steering Analysis inner joints, wheel bearings, and suspension arm ball joints suggests the front-end is prone to accelerated wear. The parking brake lever's lack of reserve travel noted during that period also indicates the internal mechanism or rear drum adjustment may require close monitoring. Furthermore, the electronic stability control and ABS systems should be verified for operation, given the history of a missing sensor and fault lights recorded in 2022. Although the vehicle passed its most recent tests without defects, the previous presence of grease on corroded artwork pipes suggests an attempt to mask structural rust, which necessitates a physical check of the integrity of the fluid lines and chassis mounting points.
