This 2006 Isuzu NKR is materially less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 71.4% against the national 80%—and worryingly, nearly a third of these trucks (32.3%) have recorded dangerous defects at some point, which is a red flag for a commercial vehicle. That combination suggests you're buying into a model with real durability challenges, not just minor niggles.

At 90,000 miles median mileage for an 18-year-old truck, these vehicles have been worked hard, and the data backs that up: averaging 4.2 failures and 23 advisories per test tells you these aren't just cosmetic issues but systematic wear across multiple systems. Before committing to one, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on the engine bay, brakes, and suspension—the high failure count suggests these are the real weak points.

We have limited data for the 2006 Isuzu Trucks Nkr 77 Turbo Electric Di — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
