2002 Isuzu Trucks 3.0L Diesel · WK52 YMD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural and braking system integrity. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 138,849 miles passed, it revealed a high volume of advisories that have persisted or developed over several years. Specifically, the appearance of a binding offside rear brake and new play in the nearside front wheel bearing and offside track rod end in 2025 indicates that mechanical wear is being monitored rather than proactively addressed between annual testing intervals. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 138,849 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,785 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage, with roughly 4,600 miles covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests, and about 4,300 miles in the year prior. However, this low mileage has not prevented age-related degradation, as the record consistently flags environmental-related issues such as corrosion and perished rubber components regardless of the short distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and tipper body, as corrosion has been a documented issue since at least 2021. While the 2025 report notes that structural rigidity is not significantly reduced, the persistent presence of corrosion on all four brake pipes, covered in grease, suggests a long-term risk that could lead to failure. The buyer should also verify the front wheel bearings and track rod ends, as these components have been flagged for play in the most recent inspections, indicating they are nearing the end of their functional life.
