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.

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?

Moderate sample. 414 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

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.

The 2022 Isuzu D Max Dl40 passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
