2019 Isuzu D-MAX Blade + Auto 1.9L Diesel · VX69 XFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 107,812 miles, this followed a failure just one week prior. The recurring failures regarding the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and front wheel bearings have persisted across three separate testing periods, suggesting that the owner is only performing the minimum work required to pass the MOT rather than addressing the underlying wear of these components. The D-Max has accumulated significant mileage, averaging approximately 15,400 miles per year over its seven-year life. A notable spike in usage is evident between January 2024 (59,708 miles) and February 2025 (90,799 miles), where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high workload suggests heavy commercial use, which correlates with the accelerated degradation of the suspension system and braking components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front-end suspension and braking system. The offside front ball joint and both front wheel bearings have been flagged for play since at least February 2025; if these have not been replaced, they remain a high risk for mechanical failure. Furthermore, the parking brake system has shown significant inconsistency, with a failure for low efficiency and operation in early January 2026. The nearside rear service brake should also be checked for binding or excessive wear to ensure the lagging issue from the previous failure was fully rectified.
