2021 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.125 1.9L Diesel · LX71 XYM

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears marginal due to a worsening trend in braking and tyre maintenance. While the September 2025 test at 46,135 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged imbalanced rear brakes that only just met the required standards. The report also noted a fluctuating rear service brake and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains legal, the mechanical condition of the braking system and the management of consumable tyres are declining. The mileage data presents a significant inconsistency. The September 2025 test recorded 46,135 miles, yet the previous test on 26 September 2024 recorded 63,801 miles. This indicates a discrepancy of 17,666 miles that appears to have been recorded in reverse, or a potential clerical error in the mileage entries between these two years. Aside from this anomaly, the vehicle averages roughly 9,227 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The transition from tyre advisories in 2024 to imbalanced and fluctuating rear brakes in 2025 suggests potential issues with binding calipers, worn brake pads, or damaged discs. The recurring mention of tyres being worn on the edges across multiple tests, including the 2024 failure at 63,801 miles, points toward possible suspension geometry issues or incorrect wheel alignment. I recommend a thorough check of the suspension bushes and steering components to rule out underlying causes for uneven tyre wear.
