2007 Isuzu Trucks NKR 77 Turbo Electric DI 3.0L Diesel · SF07 FTX

The most recent MOT in June 2025 showed a pass, but it highlighted nearside and offside track rod end ball joint dust covers as damaged or deteriorated. These issues were previously noted in 2023 and 2024, indicating a recurring concern with suspension components. The 2024 MOT included a failure due to tyre tears, inadequate tread depth, and suspension play, while the 2023 MOTs recorded similar suspension issues alongside corrosion on brake pipes and headlamp malfunctions. A pattern of suspension arm ball joint play has persisted since 2023, with no indication of resolution. This suggests potential wear or looseness in the steering and suspension system, which could affect handling and safety. The 2024 failure also revealed tyre-related defects, including structural tears and under-tread depth, which may point to uneven wear or neglect. Electrical issues, such as corroded brake pipes and misaligned headlamps, were documented in 2023, though these were addressed by 2025. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,445 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 4,181 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, potentially leading to issues like rubber component perishing or corrosion. However, the low mileage does not fully explain the recurring suspension and tyre defects, which may indicate localized wear or maintenance oversights.
