2009 Isuzu Rodeo 2.5L Diesel · SJ59 SVC

2021‑08‑24 is the latest MOT record. The vehicle was recorded as both “PASSED” and “FAILED” on the same day at 126,269 mi. The failure notes the near‑side front tyre worn on both outer edges, a damaged near‑side front wing‑mirror, chassis corrosion, and an off‑side front headlamp aimed too high. The duplicate “PASSED” entry repeats the tyre and mirror issues and the chassis corrosion, confirming these defects were still present at the test. A clear pattern emerges from the four‑year MOT history: repeated front‑tyre wear at or beyond legal limits, progressive wear on front suspension ball joints, and ongoing chassis corrosion. In 2020 the front tyre edges were already close to the legal limit and ball‑joint wear was flagged on both upper and lower arms. By 2021 the tyre wear had progressed to both outer edges, and the chassis corrosion remains noted. The headlamp aim issue appears for the first time in 2021, suggesting a new alignment problem. The trend is therefore worsening rather than stabilising. Tyre wear is accelerating, suspension components show cumulative deterioration, and corrosion has persisted without evident remediation.
