2006 Isuzu Rodeo 3.0L Diesel · CX06 KFW

The Isuzu Rodeo presents a clean roadworthiness status following the December 2025 test at 72,695 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a fault-free result. The December 2025 entry also lists a fail on the same date and mileage with no defects noted, a pattern repeated on 17 November 2023 at 72,684 miles; this typically reflects an administrative or process anomaly at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 72,695 against a 2006 build, equating to roughly 3,635 miles per year. The odometer moved only 11 miles between the November 2023 test and the December 2024 test at 72,690 miles, then a further 5 miles to the December 2025 figure. Such minimal accumulation over two years suggests the vehicle spent long periods stationary or covered only short local journeys, which on a 20-year-old 4x4 raises the prospect of perished rubber components and seized mechanisms from disuse rather than wear. The sparse record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, so the buyer cannot rely on prior flags to guide inspection. A low-use Rodeo of this age demands a physical check of underbody rust, brake caliper binding after standing, and degraded flexible hoses or tyres from age rather than mileage. Given the twin fail entries carrying zero defects, the buyer should confirm with the seller or DVSA that these were clerical and not concealed mechanical rejects. Absent any recorded faults, the vehicle reads as structurally sound on paper, but the standing time means a workshop inspection of drivetrain seals and suspension articulation remains prudent before purchase.
