2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · WD16 AEM

The Isuzu D-Max presents as roadworthy following its most recent September 2025 test at 61,473 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the DVSA log shows an anomalous failed entry on the same date with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 2024 records are equally clean. Mileage accumulation sits at a modest 6,147 miles per year against the vehicle's ten-year life, with the odometer reading 44,625 miles in June 2024 and 45,371 miles by September 2024. The jump to 61,473 miles by September 2025 reflects roughly 16,000 miles covered in the intervening year, a marked increase over the prior annual average but not abnormal for a utility pickup entering heavier service. The record is sparse, showing only pass results and the two unexplained fail entries carrying no advisory or defect data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the D-Max chassis is prone to rust where road salt exposure occurs and the MOT history offers no visibility of this. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite the absence of advisories in the official tests. The duplicated fail-with-no-defect entries on both 14 June 2024 and 22 September 2025 indicate the previous keeper may have encountered retest fees or paperwork issues rather than neglected maintenance. Given the clean defect sheet, the pickup looks competently kept, but the lack of recorded advisories across its life means wear on consumables and drivetrain components remains unverified without a workshop examination.
