2013 Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intcooler Td A — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 545 MOT tests, the 2013 Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intcooler Td A recorded a 79.6% pass rate. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (19.9% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, suspension and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (11.7%) and suspension (9.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are position lamp, shock absorbers and exhaust system — position lamp alone was recorded 29 times.
A 150k+ example is materially riskier than a 30-60k one: 25.0% versus 11.7%.
Suspension is the most common advisory, noted on 37.4% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Suspension | 37.4% | 204 |
| 2 | Brakes | 23.8% | 130 |

| 5 | Body, structure & corrosion | 13.0% | 71 |
| 6 | Other defects | 8.6% | 47 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 30-60k | 94 | 11.7% |
| 60-90k | 155 | 18.7% |
| 90-120k | 158 | 27.2% |
| 120-150k | 65 | 21.5% |
| 150k+ | 48 | 25.0% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |

What to check before buying a 2013 D-Max Yukon D/C Intcooler Td A
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: lighting & signalling accounted for 11.7% of tests. Start there.
- Lighting & signalling (11.7% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (9.5% 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.
- Brakes (8.3% 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.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
