In total 58 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”; “Rear Fluid leaking continuously posing a serious risk to road safety fuel tank (8.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
Common Problems: ISUZU TROOPER
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 3.0L (4JX1) Injector Seal Failure(Serious)
A notorious issue where the injector O-rings fail, allowing diesel to enter the engine oil. This can cause the engine to "run away" on its own oil or fail to start.
- Catastrophic Chassis Rot(Serious)
Troopers are unfortunately famous for chassis rot. Many have been scrapped because the chassis rails simply disintegrated.
- Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) Failure(Moderate)
Later manual models use a DMF that can fail, leading to vibration and expensive repairs.
