2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · VX69 XFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 54,027 miles was a pass, it carried multiple significant advisories regarding steering and suspension components that had previously caused failures. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of multi-point failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed defects when forced by the MOT tester, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 54,027 miles over seven years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. There there is a notable gap in the data between September 2023 (33,278 miles) and September 2024 (47,737 miles), during which the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles. This period of higher usage coincides with the onset of mechanical wear in the suspension, evidenced by the failing ball joints and shock absorber bushes identified during the 2024 tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end steering assembly. The record shows recurring issues with the steering rack inner joints and the nearside front wheel bearing, which were flagged in the October 2025 test. Furthermore, the front anti-roll bar bushes were noted as worn in that same test. These components should be checked for play that could cause vibration in the steering wheel or knocking noises over uneven surfaces, as they indicate the suspension system is nearing the end of its functional life.
