2019 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.150 3.0L Diesel · WG69 OOF

The Isuzu Graftor N35.150 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with each test concluding without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection in July 2025—conducted at 35,163 miles—confirmed compliance across all tested systems, including emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. There is no evidence of recurring issues or progressive failures in the record, suggesting consistent adherence to maintenance intervals or a vehicle history that avoids preventable wear. However, the absence of advisory notes does not preclude underlying issues that might not have manifested during testing, particularly in components like suspension bushes or drivetrain mounts, which often fail intermittently. The recorded mileage of 35,163 miles over approximately seven years—roughly 5,023 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The longest gap between tests spans 13 months, from December 2022 to January 2024, during which the vehicle accumulated only 3,000 miles. While this suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, it could also imply deferred maintenance or storage without proper care, potentially accelerating wear in rubber components (e.g., seals, hoses) or leading to corrosion in exposed areas. The most recent MOT was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month interval for commercial vehicles, but the next due date will arrive in July 2026, coinciding with the vehicle’s current mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in heavy-duty vehicles with low mileage. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as commercial vehicles often experience accelerated brake wear despite low mileage. Structural integrity is another critical area—inspect the chassis rails, subframe, and wheel arches for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, as catalytic converters and oxygen sensors can degrade without regular use, impacting emissions compliance.
