2012 Isuzu D-MAX Utah D/C INT-Cooler TD A 2.5L Diesel · VK62 SSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the history reveals a concerning trend of mechanical neglect and deferred maintenance. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 84,155 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior where multiple critical faults were identified. The recurring nature of the defects, specifically regarding the corroded brake pipes and perished suspension ball joint dust covers, suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative care. At 84,155 miles, this 14-year-old D-Max has averaged roughly 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-mileage patterns. However, the data shows a significant gap between the February 2023 test at 76,160 miles and the August 2024 test at 80,601 miles. During this period of only approximately 4,000 miles, the vehicle transitioned from a clean record to a multi-point failure involving structural-related issues like corrosion and suspension wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear chassis, as the tester flagged structural corrosion starting in 2024 which has not been noted as resolved. The braking system requires close attention; both front-to-rear brake pipes are corroded and greased, which often indicates an attempt to hide leaks or simply a lack of basic cleaning. Furthermore, the nearside front wheel bearing was noted to have slight play in the January 2026 test, indicating a beginning failure that will likely require replacement shortly.
