2018 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.150 3.0L Diesel · CU18 AOM

The Isuzu Grafter N35.150 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 123,565 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2024 at 106,612 miles and June 2023 at 90,912 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 26 June 2023 at 90,912 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass the same day, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance record shows no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the available history. The recorded mileage of 123,565 over roughly eight years equates to about 15,446 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 chassis and implies sustained commercial use. The jump from 56,584 miles at the August 2021 test to 90,912 miles by June 2023 shows roughly 34,000 miles added in 22 months, then a steadier 15,700 miles to July 2024 and 16,953 to July 2025. A two-year gap exists between the 2021 and 2023 entries, leaving the condition of drivetrain and structural components across that period unverified by the record. The clean sheets on every presented test suggest the previous operator kept basic statutory compliance current, though the sparse early history limits insight into wear before 2021. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of load-bearing chassis members and subframes for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and high annual mileage. The front suspension arms, steering linkage, and rear leaf spring hangers on these Isuzu trucks warrant close checking for fatigue cracks or worn bushes not captured in the pass records. Brake calipers and discs should be stripped and measured, as binding or uneven wear can develop between tests without triggering an advisory. The same-day fail and pass in June 2023 removes any concern over unresolved faults, but the absent 2022 test means standing or low-use periods in that window remain unknown. Verify the odometer against service invoices to confirm the 15,446-mile yearly average is genuine. Treat the clean MOT trail as evidence of passed statutory checks only, not a substitute for a structural and mechanical appraisal before purchase.
