This 2013 D-MAX sits virtually level with the UK average at 80.7% first-time pass rate, but the 25.4% dangerous defect rate is a genuine concern—over one in four have had a serious safety issue recorded. That's well above typical and suggests you'll want a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist to check the braking and suspension systems closely.

At 73,000 miles median, these trucks are running mid-range mileage for their age, which is reasonable for a workhorse pickup. The average of 2 failures and 14 advisories per test points to accumulated wear rather than catastrophic faults, but the high advisory count suggests routine servicing costs will be steady—budget for regular fluid top-ups and wear item replacement if you're considering one.
