ISUZU TROOPER1997 · 3.1L DIESEL

The most recent MOT in 2017 showed the vehicle passed with the exhaust system in poor condition. No defects were recorded in 2016, but earlier entries from 2015 and 2014 reveal recurring issues. These include corrosion on brake pipes, play in anti-roll bar linkages, deteriorated suspension bushings, and tyre wear approaching legal limits. The 2015 MOT had a fail due to a deteriorated ball joint dust cover, worn tyres, and corrosion, while subsequent passes noted similar but less severe concerns. A pattern of corrosion, suspension wear, and tyre degradation emerges. The 2015 fail highlighted multiple defects, but later MOTs show no new defects, suggesting repairs may have addressed some issues. However, the lack of detailed records after 2017 means the current state of components like the exhaust, suspension, and brakes is unclear. The vehicle’s age and mileage (239,977 miles) align with typical usage for a 29-year-old car, but higher mileage could accelerate wear on mechanical and rubber components. The trend appears stable, with no new major defects in the last recorded MOT. However, the absence of recent data limits confidence in the vehicle’s current condition.
