2013 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · VO63 ODC

The most recent MOT from November 2025 confirms the vehicle is roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline from a previously clean record. The 2024 and 2022 tests passed without a single defect, but the 2025 inspection introduced three advisories. The appearance of slight play in the offside front wheel bearing and all four tyres perishing suggests components are beginning to show their age, despite the low mileage. The recorded mileage of 57,300 miles over approximately 13 years indicates very light use, averaging just over 4,400 miles annually. The history shows consistent, steady accumulation without any suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. A clean pass in November 2022 at 51,754 miles was followed by a failure in November 2023 at 54,287 miles for worn wiper blades, thin front brake pads, and excessively worn shock absorber bushes. The car then passed ten days later at 54,297 miles, confirming those specific issues were rectified immediately. A buyer should focus on the suspension and tyre condition. The 2023 failure for worn shock absorber bushes on both the offside rear lower and nearside rear upper mounts points to previous suspension wear. While those bushes were presumably replaced to achieve the subsequent pass, the 2025 advisory for a front wheel bearing with slight play warrants a physical check for noise or roughness when rotating the wheel. The tester also noted all four tyres are perishing and cracking. Despite passing, aged rubber degrades grip and structural integrity, so budgeting for a full set of tyres is essential regardless of remaining tread depth.
