Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl40?

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 Dl40?

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 Dl40?

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.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl40?

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.

CarHunch analysed 414 real MOT records for the 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl40. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 ISUZU D-MAX DL40 passes its MOT first time in 89% of cases, nine points above the UK average, which is a genuinely strong result. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 4.3%, well below any concern threshold, so safety isn't flagged as a structural issue with this model.

At 35,000 miles median for a two-year-old truck, these vehicles are running well within typical usage, and the low failure rate of 0.13 per vehicle suggests mechanically sound construction. The 0.9 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear items are cropping up, but nothing alarming—if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection of suspension and brakes (the typical culprits on light commercials) is still sensible due diligence.
