2006 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Diesel Auto 3.1L Diesel · M48 YCE

The most recent MOT was passed on April 9th, 2025, with noted issues including a minor oil leak, seepage from the steering box, slight rear chassis corrosion, and slight play in the offside front wheel bearing. The recurring mechanical pattern across the history shows consistent issues related to the steering box, including slight free play and seepage from the power steering components, alongside oil leaks. The trend in the MOT history is stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed inspections despite these recurring mechanical observations. The mileage of 169,035 miles on a vehicle that is approximately 31 years old suggests a relatively low annual mileage, equating to roughly 5,453 miles per year. This lower mileage could indicate lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the steering system, paying close attention to the steering box for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive movement. Secondly, check the areas noted for corrosion, specifically the rear chassis, and examine the offside front wheel bearing for any abnormal play or noise. Finally, investigate the oil leak to determine its source and severity.
