2021 Isuzu D-MAX DL40 1.9L Diesel · SP21 UYT

The Isuzu D-Max DL40 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 29 October 2025 at 57,851 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This follows two further clean passes on 1 November 2024 at 45,117 miles and 21 February 2024 at 37,101 miles. The absence of any advisories or failures across all three recorded tests indicates consistent mechanical upkeep and no emerging or recurring faults. The maintenance trend is stable and improving in the sense that the vehicle has remained defect-free as it has aged. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2021-registered pickup. Between the February 2024 test at 37,101 miles and the November 2024 test at 45,117 miles, the vehicle covered 8,016 miles in just under nine months. The subsequent interval from November 2024 to October 2025 saw 12,734 miles added over approximately eleven months, suggesting sustained regular use rather than prolonged standing. The current recorded mileage of 57,851 miles aligns with an annual average of roughly 11,570 miles, which is within the expected range for a working pickup of this age. No anomalous gaps or sudden spikes are evident in the data. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. The D-Max is a commercial-derived pickup often used for towing, hauling, and rough-terrain work, so suspension components such as front lower arm bushes, rear leaf spring shackles, and shock absorbers deserve close physical examination for wear or play. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, particularly at the rear, where binding calipers are a known issue on this platform. Underbody structural integrity, including chassis rails, cross-members, and mounting points, should be inspected for corrosion or cracking, especially if the vehicle has been used off-road or on salted roads. Tyre condition and alignment should also be verified, as uneven wear patterns can indicate suspension geometry issues not always caught under static MOT inspection. Given the clean record, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper, but a test drive under load and a physical underbody check remain essential before purchase.
