2023 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.125 Auto 1.9L Diesel · DA72 ABX

The Isuzu Grafter N35.125 Auto presents a contradictory roadworthiness picture at its most recent examination. On 19 January 2026 at 89,226 miles the vehicle both failed and passed the same-day test with no defects recorded on either outcome. Such a duplicate entry with a clean failure suggests an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the maintenance trend cannot be classed as worsening given the absence of advisories or recorded defects across the available history. The recorded mileage of 89,226 at the January 2026 test equates to roughly 29,742 miles per year since the 2023 build, a high annual accumulation for a three-year-old light truck. This level of use implies sustained commercial duty cycles that accelerate wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The MOT record is sparse, showing only the two same-day January 2026 entries, so no longitudinal pattern of recurring faults or gaps in testing can be established from the supplied data. A buyer should commission an independent physical inspection of the chassis and subframe for corrosion, given the high mileage and unknown standing periods between duties. The tester logged no advisories on brake calipers, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, but the duplicate failure mandates verification that the DVSA record reflects a clerical error and not a suppressed defect. Given the vehicle's age and 89,226 miles, examine tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and universal joints in person. The clean pass on 19 January 2026 at 89,226 miles indicates acceptable structural integrity at that point, yet the rapid mileage build demands scrutiny of the automatic transmission fluid and rear axle bearings before purchase.
