2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SN64 VKT

The Isuzu D-Max holds a current MOT certificate issued on 3 November 2023 at 105,855 miles, meaning the certificate expired on 2 November 2025. As of today, 17 June 2026, the vehicle is operating without a valid MOT, which is a legal requirement for road use. The maintenance trend across the full record is broadly stable, with no dangerous failures at any point. The most recent test in November 2023 passed with minor advisories: an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, front brake discs worn and pitted but not seriously weakened, and some underside corrosion noted without structural compromise. These are typical wear items for a working pickup of this age and do not indicate neglect, but the lack of a test for over two and a half years raises questions about whether routine safety checks have continued. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. From 52,218 miles in November 2019 to 58,649 miles in November 2020, the vehicle gained 6,431 miles. It then covered 15,101 miles to reach 73,750 miles by November 2021, followed by 15,568 miles to 89,318 miles by October 2022. The final recorded jump brought it to 105,855 miles by November 2023, an increase of 16,537 miles in just over a year. Annual averages sit around 8,800 miles, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle used for mixed work duties. Critically, the mileage has remained static at 105,855 since the last test, suggesting the vehicle may have been standing unused for an extended period or that no recent test has been submitted to DVSA. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the underside and braking system. Corrosion advisories appeared in both 2020 and 2021, with all four brake pipes flagged as corroded and contaminated with grease or material in November 2021. Although the vehicle passed, corroded brake lines on a commercial vehicle that likely sees load and weather exposure deserve close scrutiny, particularly around mounting points and where pipes pass through chassis rails. The front brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in both 2019 and 2023, suggesting a recurring pattern that may point to aggressive driving, heavy loading, or caliper drag. The 2023 advisory on underside corrosion reinforces the need to check crossmembers, outriggers, and body mounts for perforation rather than surface rust alone. Tyre condition and wheel bearings also warrant attention. Front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in 2019, and the offside rear tyre received the same advisory in 2023, indicating that tread wear has been a recurring issue rather than a one-off. Both front wheel bearings showed slight play in 2019, and while no repeat advisory appeared, any inspection should include a check for roughness or free play at the hubs. Given the vehicle has stood since late 2023, a fresh MOT should be arranged before purchase to confirm whether the stored condition has introduced new defects such as seized brakes, perished hoses, or deteriorated tyres.
