2021 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.150 3.0L Diesel · JKM 137

The vehicle is currently considered roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 7 July 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. The prior test on 9 July 2024 also resulted in a clean pass with no recorded issues. Across the two recorded tests, the maintenance trend is stable, with no advisory notes, warning items, or failure points to indicate developing mechanical concerns based purely on the documented MOT history. The absence of recorded defects at the most recent examination suggests that, at the point of testing, the vehicle met the minimum statutory roadworthiness criteria. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 14,822 miles per year over a five-year span, reaching 74,112 miles at the most recent test in July 2025. This rate of use is consistent with the working nature of the Isuzu Grafter N35.150, a chassis cab typically deployed in commercial fleets. While the MOT record itself only captures two data points, the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests would imply an annual accumulation consistent with this heavy-use profile. High annual mileage generally accelerates wear on consumables and components such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, even when these items do not trigger advisory thresholds during testing. A prospective buyer should carry out a physical inspection focusing on areas that commonly suffer from heavy commercial use but may not always be flagged in an MOT. The braking system should be examined for wear on pads, discs, and caliper operation, as commercial stop-start driving places significant thermal stress on these components. The suspension, including coil springs, leaf springs, dampers, and bushes, warrants close attention given the likely payload-carrying duty cycle of the chassis. Steering components, propshaft joints, and driveline bearings should also be checked for play or wear. Finally, a thorough underbody examination for corrosion, structural integrity around chassis rails and load-bearing areas, and any evidence of fluid leaks from the engine, gearbox, or differential is essential. Given the mileage profile, confirming the timing and content of any non-MOT scheduled servicing would also be prudent, as MOT records alone do not establish a full maintenance history. Buying score: 76. Risk level: Low. The MOT history is unblemished, but the limited data set of two recent passes, combined with elevated annual mileage, means a buyer should weight the in-person inspection findings heavily before committing.
