1993 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Diesel Auto 3.0L Diesel · L942 SJN

The most recent MOT from July 2023 was a pass, but it highlighted several developing mechanical issues, including steering box play, an oil leak, and an exhaust leak. There is a clear and recurring pattern of degradation involving structural corrosion, oil leaks, and wear within the steering and suspension systems. While corrosion and coil spring issues have been present for several years, the most recent inspection introduced new concerns regarding the steering box and shock absorbers. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. Although it has passed its tests, the variety and nature of the faults have increased in the latest record, moving from basic lighting and spring issues to more complex steering and exhaust problems. The recorded mileage of 131,310 is quite low for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year. While this implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can often lead to perished seals, dried-out components, and increased corrosion due to the vehicle being stationary for long periods. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural areas for rust, the steering box for any excessive play or active oil leaks, and the engine bay to identify the source of the reported oil leaks.
