2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SV14 COU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of mechanical degradation and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 89,913 miles passed, it followed a failure just five days prior due to a coolant leak and an exhaust leak that prevented an emissions test. The recurring advisories regarding the central propeller shaft bearing and rear differential oil leaks have appeared across the last three testing cycles, indicating that these issues are being monitored rather than fully rectified as the vehicle ages. The recorded mileage of 89,913 miles over 12 years averages to approximately 7,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with a lower-mileage utility vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between September 2023 and 2024, and another 8,000 miles covered by September 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent seizing but accelerates the wear of rubber and metal components noted in the report. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as both the nearside and offside coil springs were flagged as corroded in 2023 and 2024. These structural components are prone to sudden failure if the corrosion is allowed to compromise the metal. The offside front CV joint boot, which failed in 2024, should be inspected for fresh grease leakage which would indicate damage to the joint. Additionally, the imbalanced rear brakes noted in 2024 require a physical check to ensure calipers are not sticking or wearing unevenly, which could affect stopping performance.
