Isuzu MOT pass rates by model

Every completed first-attempt MOT on a class-4 Isuzu in Great Britain in 2025 — 45,749 tests, covering Isuzu's cars and its car-derived vans and pickups. How they age, and how each model compares, computed by SortedCars from the official DVSA record of every test.

How many Isuzu cars are still on the road?

At the end of 2025, DVLA's register held 8,067 Isuzu cars that were taxed or on SORN: 1,727 taxed and 6,340 on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification — kept, but declared off the road by the keeper), so 21.4% of them were taxed. DVLA lists 6 named Isuzu car models, counted across the whole United Kingdom. A further 285 taxed Isuzu cars are on the register with no model name recorded; they are in the totals here and under no model below. These are counts of cars, not tests, and cars only: vans, pickups and motorhomes are recorded as goods vehicles or motor caravans in the licensing data and are not in these figures, whereas the MOT figures above include Isuzu's car-derived vans and pickups. The model table below carries the count for each model DVLA records under a name of its own.

Better or worse than the average car?

Isuzu's pass rate minus the all-cars pass rate at each age, in percentage points. Bars above zero: Isuzu beats the average car of that age. Below zero: it trails.

What mileage is normal for an Isuzu?

Mileage recorded at test by vehicle age, all Isuzu class-4 vehicles, 2025. The line is the typical (median) Isuzu; the shaded band holds the middle half. A car far outside the band, in either direction, is worth questions the recorded history can answer.

Every Isuzu model in the data

First-time pass rate per model, 2025. Every model with at least 2,000 tests is listed — all 3 of them, ordered by number of tests; models with 5,000+ tests link to their own page. All trims and variants are grouped under one model name; models marked (van) or (car and van) are tested in the same class-4 MOT. Pass rates are unadjusted for age: models with older fleets sit lower. The last three columns are the number of that model on DVLA's register at the end of 2025 — taxed, on SORN, and the taxed share — from the licensing statistics rather than the MOT record. They are left blank for vans, pickups and car-and-van models, which the licensing data counts as goods vehicles rather than cars, and for models DVLA does not record under a name of their own. DVLA's model groupings do not always draw the line where the MOT grouping does; each model page says what its count covers.

How these figures are computed. Every number on this page is calculated by SortedCars from the DVSA anonymised MOT results dataset (every MOT test in Great Britain — 2025 for single-year figures; trend figures state their span, currently 2023–2025). Where a figure comes from a sample or uses banded values (mileage is banded to 2,500 miles), the page says so beside the figure. Test class 4 only, first tests only — retests are excluded. Class 4 is the car MOT class and also covers car-derived vans, pickups and motorhomes tested to the same standard; where this page says "cars" it means class 4. Pass rate = passes ÷ (passes + failures + pass-after-rectification): a vehicle that failed and was fixed during the visit counts as a fail. Pass rates describe fleets, not individual machines: they reflect how cars were driven, maintained and used as well as how they were built, and beyond recorded mileage none of that is in the data. A well-kept example of a model with a weak average can still pass; a neglected example of a strong one can still fail. No figure is shown for any group with fewer than 500 tests. Alias spellings of a make in the DVSA file are counted under one make name, and all trims and variants of a model are grouped under one model name, using SortedCars' grouping tables. The taxed and SORN counts on this page are the one exception: they are not computed from MOT records but taken from the Department for Transport's vehicle licensing statistics (DfT/DVLA table VEH0124, updated 15 July 2026, Open Government Licence v3.0), which count the cars on DVLA's register that were taxed or on SORN at the end of each year shown, UK-wide, cars only. They describe a model as a whole, grouped under SortedCars' model names, and say nothing about any one car. “Dangerous” is DVSA's statutory defect category (in force since May 2018): a defect posing an immediate risk to road safety — driving the vehicle before repair is an offence. What these figures are for. These statistics are general information about groups of vehicles. They are not advice, a valuation or a recommendation to buy, avoid or price any particular vehicle, and no decision about one car should rest on them alone — check the car itself and its own records. We take care over the calculations, but we cannot guarantee they are complete, current or free of error, and we accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on them. This does not limit any liability that cannot lawfully be limited — see our Terms & Conditions. If you believe any figure on this page is inaccurate, contact us.
