2012 Isuzu D-MAX Yukon D/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · WJ12 MXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of component degradation related to age. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 56,736 miles passed, it introduced new mechanical failures that were not present in previous years. Specifically, the tester identified a corroded offside front brake hose caliper union and worn, pitted brake discs. This indicates that while the vehicle is being maintained, the underlying rubber and metal components are now reaching a stage of material fatigue despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Data shows consistent low-impact usage, moving from 48,326 miles in 2021 to 56,736 miles in 2025. This pattern suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain but explains the state of the rubber-based components. The 2025 advisory regarding perishing and cracking on tyres is a direct consequence of long periods of standing or low use rather than high mileage driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and towbar, as both have been flagged for deterioration and corrosion consistently since at least 2022. The suspension requires close attention following the previously recorded play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint in 2021. Given the recent discovery of pitted front brake discs and corroded hose unions, the entire braking system should be checked for seized calipers or internal corrosion that may have progressed beyond the surface level noted in the MOT record.
