2022 ISUZU TRUCKS GRAFTER N35.1251.9L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the February 2026 test at 83,938 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening. While the most recent result was a pass, the tester flagged several minor defects including a cracked windscreen, a defective offside rear stop lamp lens, and a registration plate lamp emitting direct white light. Of particular concern is the parking brake lever, which exhibited excessive travel, and an offside front tyre showing multiple cuts and low tread depth. These findings suggest a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 21,000 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 62,203 miles and the February 2026 test at 83,938 miles, the vehicle covered 21,735 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid usage pattern places significant stress on consumable components and mechanical systems. The frequency of the tests is consistent with a commercial vehicle in active service, though the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the parking brake mechanism. The excessive travel noted in the February 2026 test may indicate worn brake shoes, cables, or an issue within the parking brake assembly that requires closer scrutiny. The history of windscreen damage and wiper defects across both the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates a pattern of neglecting glass and visibility components. The condition of the tyres and wheels warrants a detailed check. The February 2026 report of cuts in the tyre tread and low depth suggests that the vehicle is being operated close to its legal limits. Given the high mileage, an inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components is essential to ensure the high usage has not caused premature mechanical fatigue.
