Isuzu Trooper Lwb (1993)
1993 Isuzu Trooper Lwb
CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 1993 Isuzu Trooper Lwb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 1993 Isuzu Trooper LWB is a reliability concern: only 31.3% pass their MOT first time, less than half the UK average of 80%. With just 4.3% of vehicles ever recorded with dangerous defects, the safety picture is relatively benign, but the sheer frequency of failures makes this a high-maintenance proposition.
These Troopers are typically showing 137,000–142,000 miles, which is reasonable for their age, yet they're averaging 0.83 failures and 2.2 advisories per test. If you're considering one, budget for regular remedial work and have a trusted mechanic inspect the brakes, suspension and exhaust closely before you buy.
What to check before buying a 1993 Isuzu Trooper Lwb
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
