2002 Isuzu Trooper Citation DT LWB 3.0L Heavy oil · VIL 2775

The 2025-07-07 MOT at 108,900 miles passed without defect, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable, with no defects recorded in the preceding tests at 108,499 miles (June 2025) or 101,776 miles (March 2024). At 24 years old, the 108,900‑mile odometer equates to roughly 4,538 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests extended periods of inactivity. Mileage intervals show a 8,129‑mile span from September 2018 (70,042 miles) to November 2021 (87,171 miles), followed by a rapid increase to 101,776 miles by March 2024, and another 7,124 miles to the latest test, indicating periods of heavy use interspersed with long idle phases. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess the structural integrity for rust, especially around the chassis rails and wheel arches. Although no defects were logged, the recurring failures noted in earlier records were limited to tyre tread wear, implying that consumable items may have been replaced, while mechanical components have remained largely untouched. In person, the purchaser must verify the condition of the steering linkage, check for any hidden corrosion on the body panels, and test the functionality of the exhaust system and emission levels, as these areas are prone to deterioration even when mileage appears low. Confirmation of recent fluid changes and a comprehensive road test will reveal whether the low‑mileage record reflects genuine careful use or simply prolonged storage.
