1995 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Diesel Auto 3.1L Diesel · N655 BFL

This vehicle is a high-risk purchase due to a clear pattern of accelerating structural and mechanical deterioration. While it passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, the history shows it failed just a month prior, and the inspection results reveal significant ongoing issues that have not been fully resolved. The primary risk is chronic corrosion. Since at least 2023, the MOT history has consistently flagged chassis and vehicle structure corrosion. Most recently, the offside rear structure was noted as corroded. This is compounded by the recurring failure of brake pipes due to corrosion, which is a serious safety concern. The mechanical condition is also trending downwards. Earlier records showed minor oil leaks and surface rust, but recent entries show much more serious component failures. You are now seeing bent track rods, a bent trailing arm that is fouling other parts, and issues with the steering box and anti-roll bar linkages. The presence of missing emission control equipment and weakened seat belt webbing in recent failures indicates a lack of consistent maintenance.
