2010 Isuzu Rodeo 3.0L Diesel · PO60 AVT

The Isuzu Rodeo passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 160,196 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 January 2026 at 160,193 miles, where the tester logged no defects, followed by a clean pass three months later. A similar pattern appears on 18 December 2023, when the vehicle failed at 154,642 miles with no defects listed, then passed the same day at 154,645 miles. These zero-defect failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than underlying vehicle condition problems. Recorded mileage sits at 160,196 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is typical for this age of vehicle. The gap between the December 2023 pass at 154,645 miles and the December 2024 pass at 157,808 miles shows only 3,163 miles covered in twelve months, indicating a period of light use. From December 2024 to March 2026 the odometer moved just 2,388 miles, confirming the truck has seen minimal recent running. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the sixteen-year age and the Rodeo's known vulnerability to chassis rust in the UK climate. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation of coil springs, suspension mounts, and brake calipers that a road test would expose. Verify the January 2026 failure reason in person, as the zero-defect record offers no explanation for the rejected certificate. Given the low recent mileage and clean test lineage, previous owners appear to have kept the truck lightly used and presented it for timely annual testing. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles point to clerical rather than mechanical neglect. Confirm service history and inspect for standing-water damage before purchase.
