The Isuzu Trooper LWB Turbo D has an overall MOT pass rate of 63.1% across 3,272 real MOT tests — below the UK average, so reliability should be a key concern.
The most common problems on the Isuzu Trooper LWB Turbo D are brake pipe excessively corroded (421 recorded failures), constant velocity joint gaiter split (332), and vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (302). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
A typical Isuzu Trooper LWB Turbo D owner drives around 7,157 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
In terms of longevity, most Isuzu Trooper LWB Turbo D models stay on UK roads for around 34 years — a strong showing that suggests solid build quality and readily available parts. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
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.
