This 2013 Isuzu D-Max falls short of the UK average with a 76.6% first-time pass rate versus 80%, and the dangerous defect rate of 28.6% is a genuine concern—nearly one in three of these trucks has had a serious safety issue flagged. That's a red flag worth investigating on any used example you're considering.
