2008 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SN08 LRP

The Isuzu D-Max passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 241,472 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the last three annual cycles reads as stable. The vehicle carries a clean test sheet at each pass, showing no outstanding advisories on brakes, suspension, steering, or structural corrosion. Prior to the latest pass, the truck failed twice on administrative grounds alone, with the tester recording no mechanical defects at either attempt. The recorded mileage sits high for a 2008 vehicle. At 241,472 miles against roughly 18 years of service, the D-Max averages about 13,415 miles per year, confirming consistent hard use rather than long idle periods. The jumps between tests show 28,551 miles added from November 2023 to November 2024, then a further 28,414 miles to December 2025, a near-identical annual rate that points to steady commercial or worksite duty. The DVSA entries are sparse, with no advisories logged at any stage, so the record gives little insight into wear on consumable items beyond the bare pass result. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension before purchase. The D-Max of this era is prone to rear spring perch corrosion and rotting crossmembers, none of which the MOT history flags but which high-mileage examples routinely develop by 240,000 miles. The brake discs, calipers, and front suspension bushes will have absorbed heavy load cycles and deserve measured checks for wear and binding. The twin failures on 16 November 2023 and 25 November 2024 at 185,507 and 213,058 miles respectively, with zero defects noted, suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect. The owner clearly kept the truck testable across a high annual mileage, yet the absence of any advisories across the record is unusual for a vehicle of this age and should be verified against the actual condition on the ramp.
