2013 Isuzu D Max Utah D/c Intercooler Td

CarHunch analysed 410 real MOT records for the 2013 Isuzu D Max Utah D/c Intercooler Td. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2013 Isuzu D-Max Utah falls slightly short of the UK average with a 78% first-time pass rate, and here's the real concern: 32.2% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above the typical threshold. That's a significant reliability red flag for a used truck of this age.

At 75,500 miles median mileage, these vehicles are running within normal parameters for an 11-year-old model, but the 2.43 average failures and particularly the 16.9 advisories per vehicle suggest ongoing maintenance headaches beyond routine wear. Before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on the engine, cooling system, and suspension—these trucks are throwing up consistent problems that need careful evaluation.

What to check before buying a 2013 Isuzu D Max Utah D/c Intercooler Td

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 32.2% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
