ISUZU TRUCKS GRAFTER N35.1202016 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 194,598 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a history of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The failures recorded in September 2025 and October 2024 suggest that specific defects were being identified and successfully rectified prior to the retests, rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical decline or structural neglect. At 194,598 miles, this ten-year-old Grafter has been averaging approximately 19,460 miles per year. The data shows a significant surge in activity between September 2023 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered 17,083 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid mileage accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain, heavy-duty braking components, and suspension assembly. The lack of recorded advisories across the history is unusual for a vehicle of this mileage and suggests components are only replaced at the point of failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the heavy-duty components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT does not always catch minor surface rust. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and check the brake calipers for binding or thin discs. Because the vehicle shows high-intensity use, verifying the condition of the engine mounts and the integrity of the exhaust system is critical to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a mechanical failure point.
