Our Verdict
A solid, relatively young workhorse, but one that shows signs of neglected basic maintenance. Proceed with a thorough inspection of the body mountings and tyre condition.
Focus your negotiation on the vehicle's maintenance history. The MOT records show a pattern of 'missing' or 'insecure' body mounting fixings in both 2024 and 2025, which suggests the vehicle may have been subjected to heavy loads or rough usage. Ask for evidence of any recent bodywork repairs or chassis inspections to ensure these issues were permanently resolved rather than just patched for the MOT.
Ensure you check the service history for the 1.9L diesel engine. While these units are generally robust, consistent oil changes are critical for a vehicle that has covered nearly 65,000 miles in under five years. Check for any outstanding invoices regarding the tyre replacements required during the September 2025 MOT failure to confirm that all four rear tyres were replaced with quality brands.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this Grafter is designed for urban efficiency and compliance with Low Emission Zones (LEZ), reducing potential daily charges. Fuel economy for the 1898cc engine is typically modest, but costs will vary significantly depending on the payload and body configuration.
Annual costs will include commercial vehicle tax and insurance, which is typically higher than standard vans due to the N35 weight category. Expect maintenance costs to be higher than a standard car, particularly regarding the dual rear-wheel setup which increases tyre replacement costs, as evidenced by the multiple tyre failures in 2025.
Prioritise a detailed inspection of the body mountings. The MOT history specifically flags missing and insecure body bolts on both the nearside front and rear in 2024 and 2025; ensure these are now fully secure and not just loosely tightened. Check the integrity of the body-to-chassis connection for any signs of stress fractures or corrosion.
Carefully examine the rear tyres. The September 2025 failure noted worn edges and a deep cut reaching the ply/cords on the offside rear. Verify that these have been replaced with new tyres rather than retreads. Finally, check all external lighting, specifically the stop lamps and registration plate lamps, which have been recurring failure points for this specific vehicle.
This 2021 Isuzu Grafter N35.125 has covered 64,862 miles since registration in September 2021. While the vehicle is Euro 6 compliant and relatively modern, its MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of bodywork insecurity and poor tyre maintenance. Despite these minor failures, it remains a viable option for a buyer who can verify the current state of the chassis and body fixings.
Aggregate data is limited for this specific N35.125 variant, but the Isuzu Grafter range is generally regarded as a durable professional tool.
