2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · TT08 MMA

The most recent MOT test on 12 January 2026 shows a passing result, but the vehicle exhibits a worsening trend regarding brake system degradation and suspension wear. While the vehicle passed after failing earlier that same day, the tester flagged multiple advisories for corroded brake pipes across the rear axle and both front sides. These issues represent a recurring pattern, as corrosion on brake pipes and hoses was noted in the January 2025 and January 2024 tests. The vehicle has covered 79,443 miles over its 12-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,620 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover a three-year period from January 2024 to January 2026, showing annual testing intervals without significant gaps in the documentation. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically the condition of the brake pipes and hoses. The record shows persistent corrosion and the presence of grease or other materials covering these components, which can mask the extent of the decay. The January 2026 failure also highlighted significant wear in the front suspension, specifically the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint. The history also indicates a fractured offside front coil spring during the January 2025 test and ongoing advisories for worn or pitted front brake discs. Given the repeated advisories for wheel bearing play and brake line corrosion, a physical inspection of the front wheel bearings and the structural integrity of the braking lines is necessary to determine if the previous repairs have fully addressed these systemic issues. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
