1994 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Diesel Auto 3.0L Diesel · M890 TAB

The most recent MOT in May 2024 was a pass, but it did note slight play in the offside front wheel bearing. This follows a very serious failure in May 2023 that highlighted significant safety concerns, including excessive chassis corrosion, leaking brake pipes, and perishing tyres. The vehicle has covered 215,486 miles, which averages to about 6,734 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a 32-year-old vehicle, suggesting that the mechanical wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain is consistent with its age. The main risk pattern is heavy, age-related corrosion affecting the structural integrity of the vehicle, specifically the chassis legs, front cross member, and brake lines. There is also a recurring pattern of wear in the steering and suspension components, such as wheel bearings, ball joints, and bushes. While the vehicle has moved from a major failure in 2023 to a pass in 2024, the trend shows a vehicle that requires constant maintenance to combat ongoing structural decay and component wear. Before purchasing, you must inspect the underside of the vehicle very carefully. Focus on the depth of corrosion on the chassis and structural mounting points, the condition and integrity of all brake pipes and hoses, and check for any signs of play in the wheel bearings and suspension joints.
