2021 Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross Auto 1.9L Diesel · WA21 OSR

The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Auto presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 18 November 2025 at 29,153 miles. That most recent test recorded zero defects of any kind, a marked turnaround from the failure recorded just seven months earlier. The vehicle has clearly received targeted attention to its braking and tyre condition since April 2024, and the subsequent clean passes through December 2024 and November 2025 confirm those issues were resolved rather than temporarily patched. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021 vehicle. Across roughly five years it has covered 29,153 miles, averaging approximately 5,831 miles per year. The progression between tests reinforces this: 22,264 miles in April 2024, rising to 26,382 miles by December 2024 — a gain of 4,118 miles in eight months — then climbing only another 2,771 miles over the following eleven months to the November 2025 test. That tapering rate suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which carries its own considerations around brake surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and fuel system condensation, even though the MOT record itself shows no evidence of those problems materialising. The single failure on 5 April 2024 is the only meaningful defect in the entire history and it centred on consumable wear items rather than structural or mechanical failure. The tester flagged front brake pads worn to the wear indicator along with both front inner tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. Edge wear on both fronts points to tracking or alignment geometry that was out of specification at that time. A prospective buyer should verify whether the front suspension components — specifically the track rod ends, wishbone bushes, and damper tops — have been inspected or replaced since, as misalignment rarely self-corrects. The front brake discs should also be measured for thickness and scoring given the pads were worn to the metal wear indicator, which risks grooving the disc faces. Despite the low annual mileage, a physical underbody inspection is warranted. Vehicles that stand for long periods can develop surface corrosion on brake lines, exhaust hangers, and subframe mounting points that a standard MOT visual check may not escalate to a failure but that a buyer should still evaluate. The clean November 2025 result is reassuring, yet it is only eight months old as of today, so a fresh pre-purchase inspection focusing on brake condition, tyre wear patterns, and suspension geometry would be a prudent step before committing.
