This 2000 Isuzu NKR 69 is a genuine reliability concern: it's failing its MOT first time in just 60% of cases against the UK average of 80%, and nearly 30% have been flagged with dangerous defects—well above the threshold where safety becomes a serious buyer worry. The diesel engine in this model shows no advantage, posting an identical 59% pass rate.

These trucks are running around 113,000 miles on average, which is reasonable for their age, but they're accumulating an average of 3.6 failures and 16.7 advisories per vehicle—suggesting widespread wear across multiple systems rather than isolated problems. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes, steering, and structural integrity, since the dangerous defect rate indicates systemic issues beyond routine maintenance.
