2013 Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2013 Isuzu D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td passed 75.9% of its 2,938 recorded MOT tests. Against all cars of a similar age (20.0% fail rate), the 2013 D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td comes out 4.1pp worse. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, suspension and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
Lighting & signalling dominates the failure mix at 15.3% of all tests — 3.0 points clear of suspension, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are rear fog lamp, rigid brake pipes and position lamp — rear fog lamp alone was recorded 199 times.
A 150k+ example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 27.2% versus 6.1%.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: suspension was flagged on 35.6% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 23.0% of tests failed in 2021 against 26.2% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2013 D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td
On a 2013 D-Max Yukon D/C Intercooler Td, lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 15.3% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (15.3% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (12.3% 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 (10.3% 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.
