2008 Isuzu TF Rodeo S/C TD 2.5L Diesel · LL08 EXW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 4 March 2025 at 73,269 miles, indicating the car remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent inspection highlights emerging mechanical wear that requires attention. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the tester identified play in the nearside front wheel bearing and oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber, suggesting that the front suspension and drivetrain components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. With a recorded mileage of 73,269 over eighteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,070 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the provided four-year history, with steady annual increments of roughly 1,400 to 1,600 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule, which implies the vehicle has seen regular, albeit light, use rather than extended periods of inactivity. The record is relatively clean, showing only isolated issues rather than systemic neglect. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel bearings, as the recent advisories indicate these parts are nearing failure. The recurring tyre issues noted in 2023 and 2024 suggest that previous owners may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding consumable maintenance. Given the age of this Isuzu, you should also inspect the chassis and sills for structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles of this type are often prone to rust if stored in damp conditions. Confirm that the wheel bearing play has not progressed to a grinding noise or excessive movement before committing to the purchase.
