1992 ISUZU BIGHORN LWB DIESEL AUTO3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in November 2024, but only after an initial failure involving perishing tyres and lighting faults. There is a concerning and persistent pattern of mechanical neglect. Every MOT entry since 2022 has flagged corroded brake pipes and exhaust leaks. The specific note that brake pipes have been covered in grease is a red flag, as this is often done to mask corrosion from inspectors rather than actually replacing the compromised lines. The condition trend is stable but poor. The same faults are recurring year after year without being permanently rectified. The addition of perishing rear tyres in the 2024 test suggests that the vehicle's rubber components are degrading. The mileage is very low for a 34-year-old vehicle, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. However, the recorded mileage has remained frozen at 167,099 miles from November 2022 through November 2024. This indicates the vehicle has likely spent long periods standing, which typically accelerates corrosion and causes tyres to perish.
