Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Isuzu D Max Utah Vision D/c Td?

This 2013 D-Max falls slightly below the UK average with a 76.2% first-time pass rate, and that gap widens when you consider that nearly 28% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a notably high figure that suggests buyers should budget for potential safety-critical repairs. The median mileage of 79,129 miles is reasonable for a 12-year-old truck, but the average of 2.61 failures per test indicates these aren't trouble-free machines, with the high advisory count of 18.2 items per vehicle pointing to cumulative wear typical of working vehicles.

These trucks are hitting reliability limits at this age; while the D-Max is fundamentally robust, this particular cohort shows fatigue rather than premature failure. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, brakes, and steering—the typical failure zones for ageing pickups—and factor in regular servicing costs as a non-negotiable part of ownership.
