Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20 reliable?

Based on MOT data from 502 vehicles, the 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 91.4%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 D-MAX DL20 has a strong first-time pass rate of 86.7%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.8% of vehicles—making it a solid choice from a safety standpoint. This pickup is delivering on reliability early in its life, with fewer than one failure per vehicle on average and less than one advisory.

At 38,000 miles median (43,000 average), these trucks are still young and lightly used for their age, which explains the respectable MOT performance. The real-world takeaway: advisories crop up more often than failures, suggesting minor wear items need attention rather than structural problems—if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and brake condition to catch these early.

The 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl20 passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
