2012 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.150
CarHunch analysed 108 real MOT records for the 2012 Isuzu Trucks Grafter N35.150. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2012 Isuzu Grafter N35.150 falls slightly below the UK average with a 76.6% first-time pass rate, and nearly a third of these trucks (31.5%) have recorded dangerous defects at some point—a serious concern for any commercial operator. This suggests age-related wear and potential structural or safety issues that go beyond routine maintenance.
At an average mileage of 107,000 miles, these vehicles have seen solid work, yet they're averaging 2.67 failures per test and a notably high 14.8 advisories, indicating widespread component degradation. Before buying, get a full independent inspection focusing on braking systems, suspension, and chassis integrity—the high dangerous defect rate means standard MOT paperwork alone won't tell you what's really safe.
