Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Isuzu Tf Rodeo Denmax Owners

These checks follow this Isuzu Tf Rodeo Denmax's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Isuzu Tf Rodeo Denmax.

  • the lights — “registration plate lamp(s) inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources”

    Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

  • the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

    Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

  • the shock absorbers — “shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush”

    Press down hard on each corner of the car and let go. It should settle in one bounce; if it keeps rocking, or you can see oil weeping down a shock absorber, that is the fault a tester will find.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Isuzu Tf Rodeo Denmax. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
