2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · SV64 AMK

The 2023‑11‑15 MOT at 74,779 miles passed, yet the record shows a clear worsening trend: the same front brake pipes that were merely corroded in the November 2023 failure now appear again, the rear crankshaft oil seal leak persists, and tyre wear and towbar damage remain unchanged, indicating that the vehicle’s mechanical health has deteriorated rather than stabilized. Mileage has risen from 29,751 miles in August 2017 to 74,779 miles in November 2023, an average of about 6,200 miles per year, but the steepest accumulation occurred between 2018 and 2022, with a jump of 11,545 miles in the six months separating the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, suggesting periods of heavy use or extended standing followed by high‑mileage runs; the interval from the November 2020 test at 53,239 miles to the October 2022 test at 63,098 miles represents roughly 5,200 miles per year, above the typical rate for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or wear, examine the brake system for binding calipers, cracked or scored discs, and the extent of pipe corrosion especially on the near‑side rear pipe, verify the condition of the rear crankshaft oil seal and any associated leaks, check the towbar for structural damage, assess tyre tread depth and edge wear, confirm the fog lamp operation and the integrity of the off‑side front upper suspension arm ball joint dust cover, and look for any hidden structural rust that could compromise the chassis.
