The most common problems on the Isuzu Trooper Citation Dt SWB are brake pipe excessively corroded (103 recorded failures), windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (47), and tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (43).

A typical Isuzu Trooper Citation Dt SWB owner drives around 5,234 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
