2022 Isuzu D-MAX DL40 1.9L Diesel · WK22 LPP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 26 March 2026 with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded failure occurred in March 2025 due to a major tyre defect involving a cut to the ply or cords. This specific failure is indicative of an external impact rather than a systemic mechanical fault or neglect, and the subsequent clean passes suggest the vehicle is being maintained to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 35,589 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,897 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for this model and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It avoids the risks associated with excessive wear on the drivetrain and suspension components often seen in high-mileage workhorses, while also avoiding the degradation issues typically linked to vehicles that have spent prolonged periods standing. Given the largely clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and the specific nature of the vehicle's application. A thorough examination of all four tyres is recommended to ensure no further sidewall perishing or uneven wear patterns exist, which could indicate suspension misalignment or worn bushes. During a test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension or shuddering under braking, and verify that the steering is precise and free from excessive play. Prospective buyers should carefully review the service history to confirm that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals, regardless of the moderate mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the underbody and chassis for signs of surface corrosion, which is common in pickups used in rural or coastal environments. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs for pitting and ensure the 12V battery maintains a healthy charge to avoid cold-start issues.
