(399x the fleet average), abs fault (21x the fleet average), coil springs broken (184x the fleet average), and service brake efficiency below minimum requirement (22x the fleet average).

How failures change with mileage
The Isuzu Trucks Nkr 77 Turbo Electric Di'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 Trucks Nkr 77 Turbo Electric Di specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are track rod ends worn (38x the average) and abs fault (16x). rear registration plate lamp or light source mi... (7.7x) and brake pipes corroded (7.1x) 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 Trucks Nkr 77 Turbo Electric Di specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are free play in the steering, measured at the rim ... (399x the average) and coil springs broken (62x). service brake efficiency below minimum requirement (22x) and abs fault (21x) 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 Trucks Nkr 77 Turbo Electric Di specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are axle or kingpin wear (644x the average) and free play in the steering, measured at the rim ... (127x). fixings missing or insecure (110x) and coil springs broken (44x) also appear frequently.
The shift from track rod ends worn at lower mileages to axle or kingpin wear 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.
