Isuzu Trucks Nkr 55 (2000)
2000 Isuzu Trucks Nkr 55
CarHunch analysed 112 real MOT records for the 2000 Isuzu Trucks Nkr 55. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2000 Isuzu NKR 55 is a genuinely unreliable prospect, with a 64.4% first-time pass rate that sits 15.6 points below the UK average—and worse, over a third of these trucks (33.9%) have recorded dangerous defects during their MOT history, a serious red flag for buyers. The median carhunch score of 50 reflects this poor track record consistently across the sample.
At 120,146 miles median mileage for a 24-year-old truck, these vehicles have been worked hard, and it shows: the average vehicle racks up nearly 4 failures per test and 21.7 advisories, suggesting chronic wear across multiple systems. If you're considering one, budget for immediate and ongoing repairs, have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before purchase, and factor in the high likelihood of failing its next MOT.
