Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the recent M
When inspecting this vehicle, demand sight of any invoices for repairs carried out following the January 2026 MOT failure. Specifically, verify that the engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) was addressed correctly and not simply reset, and ensure the windscreen wiper system has been repaired to provide clear visibility.
Given the commercial nature of the Grafter, check the vehicle's payload history and ensure the chassis and suspension have not been subjected to consistent overloading, which can accelerate wear on components like the steering assembly noted in the latest MOT.
As a Euro 6 diesel commercial vehicle, this Isuzu is subject to standard road tax rates for light commercial vehicles. Fuel economy will vary significantly based on load and driving style, typical of a 1.9-litre diesel engine in a chassis cab configuration.
Maintenance costs for the Grafter can be higher than standard passenger cars due to the requirement for commercial-grade parts and specialist servicing. Budget for regular tyre replacements, as the vehicle's weight distribution often leads to accelerated wear on the rear axle.
Pay close attention to the power steering system; the seepage noted in the 2026 MOT requires a professional assessment to determine if it is a minor weep or a precursor to a pump or seal failure. Ensure the steering feel is consistent and free from unusual noises or play.
Inspect the rear tyres thoroughly, as the 2026 MOT flagged uneven wear. This can indicate alignment issues or overloading. Finally, test all electronic systems, specifically looking for any recurring warning lights on the dashboard, as the engine MIL was previously recorded as inoperative or indicating a fault.
This 2022 Isuzu Grafter N35.125 has covered 34,895 miles since its registration in January 2022. Its MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2025 to a failure followed by a conditional pass in 2026. Potential buyers should focus on the unresolved steering and tyre-related advisories present at the most recent inspection.
There is currently no aggregate reliability data available for the Isuzu Grafter N35.125 to provide a comparative benchmark.
