Isuzu Troopers licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2002 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
The Isuzu Trooper SWB Turbo has its own page.
The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records
under that version’s name.
We do not show MOT figures for the Isuzu Trooper. 23% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.
Isuzu Trooper registrations over time
Registrations of Isuzu Troopers for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 1,449 in 2002. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN
excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page.
How we use engine sizes.
Isuzu Trooper fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Isuzu Trooper from 2000, when the data begins, to 2006. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2006), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 18.8 to 27.4 mpg, with CO2 of 273 to 358 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2006
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2006
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Trooper”, “Trooper (2002 Model Year)”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Isuzu Trooper safety recalls
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Isuzu Trooper since 1992, the first in 2005. The most recent was launched on 15 January 2012.
Engine speed may increase unintentionally
Launched 15 January 2012DVSA recall R/2011/154
Defect
It is possible that the internal contact resistance of the crimped joints for the grounding between the throttle position sensor (TPS) and engine control module may increase due to engine vibration. This can lead to an increased TPS voltage output which could lead to an increase in engine revolutions whilst at idle without any throttle input.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles for the installation of a new wiring harness.
23% of the Isuzu Troopers on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every
body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Isuzu Trooper. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
