VAUXHALL Monterey (used) review

1. What Is It?

Date Published: 21st January 2011

Price £750-£2250
Dates 1994-1999

An Isuzu Trooper with Vauxhall’s badge and trim. The Monterey sold badly while the real thing did well, so it’s a rarity on the used market. Underlying built is excellent, but the revvy 3.2 petrol and part-time 4wd make it skittish on the road; far better to stick with the 3.1 diesel.

Buyer beware!
Like the Trooper it’s based on, the diesel needs an oil change every 4500 miles. Check for overheating, electric faults and a worn-out interior.

+ Solid build, competent off-road
- Crude on-road, below-par reliability
