2016 Isuzu D-MAX 2.5L Diesel · WG16 ABN

The vehicle presents a broadly roadworthy profile based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 16 October 2023, where the tester issued a pass at 98,556 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, evidenced by consecutive clean passes in prior years. A curious anomaly appears in the same day's entry showing a fail at identical mileage with no defects logged; this points to an administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2016 registration. The record opens with a pass on 22 January 2020 at 63,488 miles, then a pass on 10 September 2021 at 78,675 miles, reflecting roughly 15,000 miles over twenty months. Subsequent tests show 88,564 miles on 6 September 2022 and 98,556 miles on 16 October 2023, equating to near 10,000 miles annually. A gap exists between early 2020 and late 2021, likely attributable to pandemic-related test extensions, but the sparse history remains free of advisories. Despite the clean ledger, a buyer should physically inspect critical components that MOT tests may overlook or that wear with age. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess chassis and body mounts for corrosion given the vehicle's ten years. The D-Max's ladder-frame construction demands scrutiny of structural integrity beneath the cab and bed. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners addressed consumables proactively, yet the duplicate October 2023 entry warrants confirmation of the vehicle's true status via DVSA records before purchase. A pre-purchase inspection by a marque specialist remains prudent for this mileage.
