2021 Isuzu D-MAX DL40 Auto 1.9L Diesel · WA21 OSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 103,574 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern following a failure just six days prior to that test. The previous failure identified a critical safety defect involving a weakened offside rear seat belt webbing and mechanical failure, which was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass. This indicates the owner is willing to address urgent safety concerns once identified by a tester. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity use for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 76,851 miles and the September 2025 test at 103,574 miles, the truck covered 26,723 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway driving or heavy work, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension hardware compared to average usage. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension system, as the 2024 record flagged a worn bush on the nearside rear lower shock absorber. While this was a minor advisory, the high mileage increases the likelihood of further degradation in rubber bushes, ball joints, and coil springs. The buyer should also inspect the brake system for signs of uneven wear or sticking, as high-mileage utility places significant stress on calipers and discs. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for salt-related corrosion or structural rust is essential to ensure the high mileage has not been exacerbated by harsh corrosive environments.
