Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td MOT pass rate & common failures
5,433 MOT tests on the Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td (2012–2013) give it a 75.4% pass rate. That is 3.9 percentage points worse than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 20.7%. Its most common failure areas are lighting & signalling, suspension and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (14.6%) and suspension (13.0%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are rigid brake pipes, position lamp and ball joint — rigid brake pipes alone was recorded 341 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 5.1% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 28.0% once past 150k — 5.5× the risk.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: suspension was flagged on 36.8% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 23.2% of tests failed in 2021 against 27.2% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td
- Lighting & signalling (14.6% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (13.0% 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 (10.1% 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.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
