About the 2006 Isuzu Rodeo

The 2006 Isuzu Rodeo is a large car. Our records list this model year as electric, but most of the model's other years are petrol or diesel, so the fuel type and running costs here may be wrong. 1,116 MOT tests were recorded on this model in 2024, making it a reasonably common sight on UK roads. Among all models from 2006, the average MOT pass rate is 73%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.

With an average of 137,397 miles recorded at its 2024 MOT tests, Isuzu Rodeo owners drive about as much as the UK average.

What does it cost to own a 2006 Isuzu Rodeo?

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,130 (£94/month), broken down as £555 electricity, £20 road tax, £55 MOT, and £500 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 72% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

Buying a Used 2006 Isuzu Rodeo

At 20 years old, the Isuzu Rodeo is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 76%.

Common Issues to Watch For

These are typical issues for cars of this age, fuel type and engine size, not faults recorded on this model's MOT tests. Use them as a checklist when you view one.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Clutch Wear

Watch out

With an average of 137k miles, clutch replacement may be due (typical lifespan 60,000-100,000 miles). Budget £400-£800 for a new clutch kit.

Brake Discs and Pads

Medium risk

High-mileage cars often need brake disc replacement, not just pads. A full set of discs and pads costs £200-£500 per axle.

Engine Mounts

Medium risk

Worn engine mounts cause excessive vibration and movement. Replacement costs £150-£400 per mount. Check for vibration at idle with the bonnet open.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
