2012 Isuzu D-MAX E/C Intercooler TD 2.5L Diesel · XX06 ATK

The vehicle presents a stable and sound mechanical condition based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 70,579 miles passed without any defects recorded, indicating the D-Max currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. The maintenance trend remains consistently positive, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged over the past three years. This 2012 Isuzu D-Max has covered 70,579 miles over roughly fourteen years, averaging approximately 5,041 miles annually—a notably low figure for a working pickup. The MOT records confirm this gentle usage pattern, showing a steady accumulation of 5,465 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and just 5,743 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. Such low mileage can reflect light commercial duties or extended periods of standing, which carries its own risks like perished rubber components or corroded brake discs from lack of use. While the MOT record remains entirely clean of defects, the two failed tests on 8 November 2023 and 5 November 2024 present an anomaly, as no specific defects were recorded for either failure. This typically indicates an aborted test or a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should verify the circumstances of these failed attempts directly with the seller to ensure no underlying issues were masked. Given the low annual mileage and the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus on the condition of perishable and structural components. Examine the tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, check the brake discs for surface corrosion from standing, and scrutinise the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Inspect the chassis and load bed for any signs of structural corrosion, as light-use pickups often suffer from rust due to moisture sitting in the chassis rails rather than being burned off by regular heat cycles.
