Isuzu Piazza Turbo Auto (1987)
1987 Isuzu Piazza Turbo Auto
CarHunch is tracking 148 1987 Isuzu Piazza Turbo Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 148 Piazzas in this dataset failed its MOT—a 0% pass rate that sits catastrophically below the UK's 80% average and signals fundamental reliability problems with this model-year combination. No dangerous defects were recorded, but the universal failure rate alone is a serious red flag for any prospective buyer.
These are elderly vehicles (1987 model), and the complete absence of passing tests suggests systematic issues rather than random wear—possibly corrosion, fuel system degradation, or emissions compliance failures common to 35-year-old Japanese imports. Before considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with 1980s Isuzus, because the MOT history indicates you'll be facing immediate and substantial remedial work.
We have 148 1987 Isuzu Piazza Turbo Auto vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1987 Isuzu Piazza Turbo Auto
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.
