2013 Isuzu Trucks Forward N75.190

CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2013 Isuzu Trucks Forward N75.190. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Isuzu Forward is a serious red flag for buyers: only 2.7% of tested vehicles passed first time, versus the UK average of 80%, and these are commercial trucks with a median mileage of 168,190 miles that have been heavily worked. The near-zero dangerous defect rate (0%) is the sole bright spot, suggesting structural and safety systems hold up, but the catastrophic first-time pass rate indicates these vehicles routinely need significant repairs before they're roadworthy. With almost no advisories recorded (0.03 per vehicle on average), problems tend to be outright failures rather than warnings—meaning owners face sudden, costly fixes rather than gentle reminders to maintain. If you're considering one of these trucks, expect to budget heavily for immediate mechanical work and factor in substantial downtime before it's fit for use.

What to check before buying a 2013 Isuzu Trucks Forward N75.190

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
