2014 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · W4 AJB

This Isuzu D-Max shows a pattern of recurring suspension and braking issues that suggests a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. While the most recent MOT in October 2025 was a pass, it followed a significant failure just three days prior. The primary risk pattern involves the vehicle's chassis and suspension components. You have seen repeated advisories and failures regarding ball joints, anti-roll bar bushes, and wheel bearings. Most concerning is the recent failure regarding parking brake efficiency and rear brake imbalance. This indicates that while the vehicle is being maintained enough to pass, the underlying wear on the braking system and suspension is becoming more frequent and more serious. The mileage of approximately 76,958 miles is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,400 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the vehicle has not been excessively driven, but the recurring suspension faults could imply it has been used on rougher terrain or uneven roads, which accelerates wear on bushings and joints regardless of total distance. The condition trend is worsening. The failures have progressed from minor items like registration lamps and worn belts to more critical safety components like brake imbalance and parking brake efficiency.
