2005 Isuzu Rodeo Denver Td Intercool
CarHunch analysed 172 real MOT records for the 2005 Isuzu Rodeo Denver Td Intercool. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2005 Isuzu Rodeo is notably less reliable than average: only 62.6% pass on the first attempt versus the UK average of 80%, and it accumulates an average of 2.08 failures per test. The good news is that dangerous defects are relatively rare at 9.9%, so catastrophic safety issues aren't the typical problem here.
At 112,000 miles median, these vehicles are run fairly hard for their age, yet they're still racking up an average of 9 advisory items per test—suggesting that wear and tear compounds quickly once neglect begins. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection with particular attention to the diesel engine and suspension systems, since the high failure count points to those areas wearing faster than expected.
What to check before buying a 2005 Isuzu Rodeo Denver Td Intercool
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.
