What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — suspension (11.6%) and lighting & signalling (11.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are ball joint, wipers and position lamp — ball joint alone was recorded 59 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 12.9% of 30-60k cars fail, rising to 28.9% once past 150k — 2.2× the risk.
Suspension is the most common advisory, noted on 36.8% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intcooler Td A
- Suspension (11.6% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
- Lighting & signalling (11.5% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (9.1% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
