2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SV64 AJO

This Isuzu D-Max has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded in the most recent test, conducted just five months ago on 4 December 2025 at 58,476 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests—spanning nearly four years—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the double entry for November 2022 (a pass followed by a fail at identical mileage) suggests either a rare administrative duplication or a brief oversight in scheduling. The vehicle’s most recent MOT remains valid, but the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying issues that might not have been detected during the test, such as subtle suspension wear or corrosion in less accessible areas. The mileage progression of approximately 4,873 miles annually is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the vehicle accumulated just 8,648 miles—a gap that could imply extended inactivity, potentially accelerating wear on fluids, tyres, and seals. Conversely, the consistent annual mileage thereafter (around 5,000 miles) aligns with light-to-moderate usage, though this does not necessarily correlate with diligent maintenance. The absence of mileage jumps or erratic patterns also reduces the likelihood of sudden high-stress conditions, but it does not guarantee that critical components like suspension bushes or brake calipers have been proactively serviced. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle and steering linkages, as these are common failure points in this model. The double MOT entry in 2022 warrants scrutiny of the rear brakes, which may have been overlooked during the initial pass; binding or uneven wear could have been missed. Corrosion is another critical factor—check the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust mounts for pitting or structural compromise, especially if the vehicle has spent time off-road or in coastal areas. Finally, verify the condition of the differential and transfer case fluids; prolonged low-mileage periods can lead to degradation even in sealed systems. While the MOT record suggests no immediate red flags, these areas require hands-on verification to confirm long-term reliability.
