2007 Isuzu Rodeo 2.5L Diesel · JR03 LLL

The 2007 ISUZU RODEO is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 recording a pass at 137 540 miles with no defects noted. The history shows a consistent pattern of passes from December 2021 through to the latest test, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to meet statutory standards and that the owner has addressed any issues promptly enough to avoid failures. Mileage progression reveals a clear slowdown in usage. Between 23 December 2021 (120 321 mi) and 21 December 2022 the odometer advanced 14 468 mi, roughly 12 500 mi per year. The following year, from 20 December 2023 (137 423 mi) to 20 November 2025 (137 540 mi), only 117 mi were added over almost two years, and the interval from 21 December 2022 to 20 December 2023 saw just 2 634 mi added. This deceleration suggests periods of reduced driving or storage, which can preserve wear items but also means that any latent corrosion or fatigue may not have been exposed by regular operation. Even with a clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, hardening or oil leakage, and examine the rear axle for play. Test the brake pedal for a firm feel and listen for binding calipers or uneven brake‑disc wear. Inspect the exhaust system for rust holes and the chassis, floor pans and door sills for corrosion. Verify engine oil and transmission fluid levels and look for contamination or abnormal colour. A short road test will reveal any abnormal noises from the steering column, driveshaft or rear differential. These hands‑on checks complement the MOT data and help identify any hidden deterioration that a pass‑only record might conceal.
