Used Isuzu D-Max for sale in Europe

About the Isuzu D-Max

The Isuzu D-Max is a ladder-frame pickup truck sold in many European countries. It is built mainly for work, towing and rough tracks, and many owners also use it as a family vehicle. Single, extended and double cab bodies have been offered, with rear-wheel drive or selectable four-wheel drive depending on year and market.

Diesel engines have been the core of the range in Europe. Earlier trucks used 2.5 and 3.0 litre units. Later ones moved to a 2.5 litre twin-turbo and then a 1.9 litre. Manual and automatic gearboxes were offered. Our listings also include an electric version with a 66.9 kWh battery, which is a different proposition from the diesel trucks.

The model suits buyers who need payload, towing ability or off-road capability and accept the size and ride of a pickup. Used examples range from high-mileage work trucks to nearly new double cabs. Equipment, load-bed condition and previous use differ widely, so each truck needs to be judged on its own history.

Generations

• First generation (2002-2012) — Simple, robust-feeling pickup with older diesel engines and fewer electronic systems.
• Second generation (2012-2019) — Introduced a 2.5 litre twin-turbo diesel for Europe and received a mid-life update around 2016.
• Third generation (2019-present) — Brought a 1.9 litre diesel, more driver aids and a more car-like cabin, and later added an electric variant.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise fairly steadily with model year. Across all listings the median is €39,500. For 2016 trucks the median is €21,800, and for 2021 it is €32,500. Listings from 2026 have a median of €46,400. Older trucks vary more, because condition, mileage, trim and previous commercial use differ a lot. Double cabs with higher trim levels usually sit above basic work versions of the same year. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Isuzu D-Max

Inspect the truck in daylight, ideally with the service file and a way to see the underside. Check that the paperwork matches how the truck was used.

• Chassis and underbody corrosion

  Look along the ladder frame, cross-members, spring mounts and brake lines for rust and flaking. Trucks from salted roads or used near the coast need extra attention. Surface rust is common, but deep scale or holes are a concern.

• Signs of heavy work use

  Check the load bed for dents, deep scratches and a worn liner. Look for tow-bar wear, sagging rear springs and uneven tyre wear. Ask what loads or trailers the truck carried, and whether it was used on a site or farm.

• Four-wheel drive operation

  Engage two-wheel, four-wheel high and low range on a safe surface, if the seller allows it. Check for noises, warning lights and delays. Trucks that were rarely switched can develop stiff or faulty selectors.

• DPF and emissions system · Second and third generation diesels

  Later diesels use particulate filters, EGR and often AdBlue. Short trips can block the filter. Ask about regeneration warnings, check the dashboard for fault lights and look for service records covering emissions work.

• Service history and leaks · Diesel engines

  Look for regular oil changes at the intervals in the handbook. Check for oil or coolant leaks, smoke on start-up and rough running when cold. Confirm that the timing and other belt or chain items were handled as specified.

• Gearbox behaviour · Automatic versions

  On the test drive, check that the automatic shifts smoothly when cold and warm. Look for flares, harsh engagement or hesitation between drive and reverse. On manuals, check the clutch bite point and listen for noise from the gearbox.

• Different checks for the electric model · Electric version

  If you look at the electric D-Max, check the battery report, charging history and warranty status. Inspect the charging port and cables as well. Do not apply diesel-specific advice to it.
