Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2017 Isuzu MU-X in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Confirm year mechanicals: 380Nm/5-speed (2014–16) vs 430Nm/6-speed/DPF (2017). Engage 4H/4L on 4x4 cars; listen for CV clunks on lock. Check transmission fluid if the wagon has a towbar, and test air-con on all rows. Sit in the third row and measure gear with all seats up — 235L is small. Request as much service history as possible — regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Confirm RUC is current on every diesel. Compare condition and service records across listings — the best-value example is often the best-kept one, not the cheapest.
