2019 Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L Diesel · WA19 KUG

The 2019 Isuzu D-MAX holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 April 2026 at 55,493 miles, so the record is highly current relative to today's date. The overall maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a pattern of minor, recurring suspension and tyre advisories rather than a clean bill of health. The most recent test flagged worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both front corners and a slightly damaged or perishing nearside front tyre. These are not dangerous defects, yet their repeat appearance across multiple years suggests the front-end components have received attention late or only when the tester formally noted them. The vehicle passed its April 2026 test without brake or emissions failures, which is a positive shift from the 2024 failure record. The mileage progression is consistent and typical for a working pickup of this age. The vehicle recorded 33,118 miles in February 2023, 40,650 miles in March 2024, 48,768 miles in April 2025, and 55,493 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, indicating regular use rather than long periods standing or recent high-mileage accumulation. The MOT history itself is well documented, with tests conducted annually and a clear failed test in March 2024 followed by a pass on the same day, suggesting the owner addressed the brake efficiency and imbalance issues promptly. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering linkage. The repeated advisories for worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes, combined with a slightly worn nearside rear shock absorber bush noted in both 2024 and 2025, point to a vehicle that has lived a working life on rougher roads or with frequent load. Check for play in the front drop links, inspect the anti-roll bar D-bush mounts, and look for uneven tyre wear that would confirm minor alignment or bush deflection. The 2024 failure for an inoperative engine MIL and rear brake imbalance was rectified, but it is worth verifying that the brake calipers on the rear axle retract freely and that the discs show no signs of excessive lipping or heat scoring. Tyre condition has appeared as an advisory in four of the five recorded tests, including cracking and perishing, so budget for a fresh set of matching all-terrain or highway tyres if the current set is original or aged beyond five years.
