2010 Isuzu Rodeo 2.5L Diesel · FJ59 VML

The Isuzu Rodeo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 123,362 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable but irregular, given two administrative failures in 2024 and 2025 where the tester logged no defects. These were likely documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, and the vehicle cleared retest within a day or two each time. Recorded mileage sits at 123,362 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 7,710 miles per year, which is typical for a 16-year-old 4x4. The jump from 103,305 miles at the February 2023 pass to 112,144 miles by January 2024 shows about 8,800 miles in eleven months. A larger rise to 123,352 by February 2025 adds 11,200 miles over the following year. No rapid accumulation or long standing periods are evident, though the sparse five-entry history leaves consumable wear between tests unobserved. The repeated no-defect failures on 29 January 2024 and 27 February 2025 suggest the previous keeper delayed paperwork rather than neglected mechanics, yet a buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue. The clean advisories across all tests mean no corrosion or exhaust emissions concerns were formally raised. Given the Rodeo's ladder-frame chassis and off-road use pattern, inspect chassis rails and subframe mounts for structural rust not captured in the MOT. Confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the claimed zero-advisory record before purchase.
