Are there any known problems with the 2014 LTZ Holden Colorado?

I'm considering the purchase of a one-previous-owner 2014 LTZ Holden Colorado with 143,000km, apparently used mainly for touring and towing a caravan. Is there any history showing engine life or major issue occurring in this model Colorado? It has had regular interval servicing.

This model Colorado doesn't have a completely clean rap sheet in terms of its long-term reliability, so I'd definitely want to see a complete service history with no gaps or skipped maintenance. Beyond that, manual-transmission versions of this car didn't like towing and had a small gearbox component that could fail requiring a new gearbox.

But even an automatic version was known to have (in some examples) oil consumption problems (Holden's fix was to fit a different dip-stick to alter owners' perception of the consumption). Other problems included leaking coolant plugs, electrical wiring issues and even water leaks into the cabin.

All that said, the Holden was actually an Isuzu D-Max under the skin; a vehicle that has a better than average record for reliability among its peers.
