2004 Isuzu Rodeo Denver LWB 4WD Heavy oil · SV53 HAO

The vehicle presents an uncertain roadworthiness status due to a significant lapse in testing spanning over four years. The last recorded test took place in May 2022 at 149,171 miles, which resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the record for that entry. Since the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is over two years overdue for its MOT. This lack of recent data makes it impossible to verify the current mechanical integrity or safety status of the vehicle. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use vehicles of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between September 2019 at 136,152 miles and November 2020 at 147,208 miles, during which time the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. While the low annual mileage suggests less wear on drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of standing often associated with such patterns can lead to seized brake calipers, degradation of rubber-based components, and fluid contamination. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis corrosion, as the age of the Isuzu Rodeo makes it susceptible to structural rust. The 2019 advisory regarding front to rear brake pipes indicates a history of corrosion in the braking system, which should be checked for thinning or leaks. Given the multiple failures in November 2020 prior to a pass, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts to ensure no mechanical failures have developed during the extended period of unrecorded testing.
