2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · SN69 XAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in April 2026 at 124,898 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure for multiple mechanical and safety-related defects. The recurring presence of thin brake pads, worn shock absorber bushes, and failing wheel bearings indicates that the previous owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled servicing or preventative maintenance. At 124,898 miles over seven years, this D-Max has averaged approximately 17,800 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for a passenger vehicle and suggests heavy commercial or motorway use. The data shows rapid mileage accumulation between January 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered over 31,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high usage rate puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the rapid degradation of tyres and brake pipe components noted in the February 2025 test. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the April 2026 record specifically noted scrubbed inner edges on the front tyres. This typically points to tracking issues or worn ball joints that have not yet been rectified. Furthermore, the corroded brake pipes identified in 2025 require a thorough visual inspection of the entire braking system to ensure the grease mentioned was not masking deeper structural corrosion of the metal. Given the play detected in the front wheel bearings and the worn rear shock bushes, the buyer should also budget for immediate suspension repairs to prevent further component failure.
