ISUZU Trooper Mk3 (used) review

1. What Is It?

Date Published: 21st January 2011

Price £1500-£8000
Dates 1998-2004

Final version of the Trooper before Isuzu pulled out of the UK car market to concentrate on pick-ups. Basically a facelifted Mk2, but with full-time 4wd and 3.5 petrol and 3.0 diesel engines – the latter prone to disastrous failures.

Buyer beware!
The 3.0 diesel was recalled for work to remedy its tendency to blow up. Don’t buy one that hasn’t had it done.

+ Off-road virtues, reasonable civility
- Tall, tottery handling, cabin noise

What you get
£2000 Major-league high-milers
£5000 Honest non-FSH mid-termers
£7500 Late top-speccers with history
