Where the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td fails its MOT
The single biggest MOT failure point on the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td is transmission joint, belt or chain worn — this model is 143 times more likely to fail on this item than the average car on UK roads.

Bodywork failures usually mean structural corrosion — not cosmetic rust, but rot that affects the car's structural integrity. Check sills, subframes, and chassis rails carefully, especially on older examples.
Other notable weak points include wheel bearings worn (48x the fleet average), obligatory rear fog lamp missing, or a front or... (20x the fleet average), abs fault (19x the fleet average), and coil springs broken (83x the fleet average). These ratios compare the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td's failure rate on each item against the national average for all cars tested — a ratio of 10x means this model fails ten times more often than a typical car.
The failures span 3 categories: Bodywork, Suspension, Lights & Electrics. If you're inspecting a Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td before purchase, these are the areas to focus on — and if any have been flagged as advisories on a previous MOT, they're likely to become failures in the near future.
How failures change with mileage
The Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td's weak points shift as the car covers more miles. Understanding these patterns helps you know what to expect — and what to budget for — at each stage of ownership.
Under 60,000 miles
At this mileage, most failures are either design-related or caused by age rather than wear. Components like bushes and drop links may not have been replaced yet, and original-fit parts can deteriorate even on low-mileage cars that spend a lot of time sitting.
For the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are wheel bearings worn (48x the average) and anti-roll bar links worn (44x). obligatory rear fog lamp missing, or a front or... (20x) and brake hoses perished or damaged (8.5x) also appear frequently.
60,000 to 100,000 miles
This is where routine wear items start to show up. Brake components, tyres, and exhaust parts have done serious work by this point. Cars that have been well serviced will show fewer of these failures — this mileage band is where good maintenance really separates the well-kept from the neglected.
For the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are transmission joint, belt or chain worn (143x the average) and coil springs broken (83x). wheel bearings worn (37x) and abs fault (19x) also appear frequently.
Over 100,000 miles
High-mileage cars accumulate failures across multiple systems. The key question isn't whether things will need doing — they will — but whether the car has been maintained well enough to keep on top of them. Look for a consistent service history and recent MOT passes with minimal advisories.
For the Isuzu D Max Yukon D/c Intercooler Td specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are transmission joint, belt or chain worn (60x the average) and towbar fault (52x). coil springs broken (39x) and abs fault (17x) also appear frequently.
The shift from wheel bearings worn at lower mileages to transmission joint, belt or chain worn at higher mileages is typical — early failures tend to be design or factory-related, while high-mileage failures reflect accumulated mechanical wear. A car that's been well maintained will usually dodge the worst of both.
