2010 Isuzu Rodeo 3.0L Diesel · YT10 LFS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improving mechanical condition. Following the most recent test in October 2025 at 94,293 miles, the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that previous issues identified in earlier inspections have been addressed. The transition from recorded faults in 2023 to clean sheets in the last two tests suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,293 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The data shows a notable increase in usage between November 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in just eleven months. Prior to this, the mileage remained relatively static, fluctuating between low annual increments. This pattern suggests light use, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, specifically the rear leaf spring assemblies. The 2023 test flagged slight wear in the shackle pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear springs. While the later tests passed without comment, these components are prone to corrosion and checking for excessive play or cracking rubber is essential. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak noted in 2023 should be verified to ensure the exhaust system remains structurally sound and has not developed further fractures. Given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for surface corrosion on the chassis rails is necessary. The history shows recurring issues with the nearside rear tyre between 2021 and 2022, indicating a history of minor punctures or perhaps tyre neglect. Inspect the current tyres for sidewall cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot before the tread depth is exhausted.
