Buying Tips for the 1989 Isuzu Trooper (Mk2)

Avoid the 3.0-litre diesel (4JX1) unless there is cast-iron proof that the injector seals and wiring harness have been upgraded.
Meticulously inspect the ladder-frame chassis for structural rot, particularly around the rear suspension mounts and outriggers.
Check the manual or automatic hubs for proper engagement when selecting four-wheel drive.
Listen for top-end engine rattle on the 3.1-litre diesel, which can indicate valve clearance issues or a worn camshaft.
Verify the condition of the automatic gearbox (if fitted); heavy towing without an auxiliary cooler can burn out the transmission.
