Moderate sample. 474 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2013 Isuzu D-Max is below the UK average, with a 74% first-time pass rate compared to 80% nationally—a meaningful gap that reflects real reliability concerns. More worryingly, over a third of these vehicles (34.6%) have experienced dangerous defects during their MOT history, which is substantially higher than typical and should be a serious consideration for any buyer.

At nearly 86,000 miles on average, these trucks have been properly worked, and the data reflects that: they're averaging 2.87 failures per test and 18.7 advisories, indicating worn components are common. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes, steering, and suspension—the categories where dangerous defects typically cluster on work vehicles like this.

The 2013 Isuzu D Max Eiger D/c Intercooler Td has a decent first-time pass rate (75.9%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 18.7 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 474 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
