2002 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · RK52 BUW

The 2002 Ford Transit has a mixed maintenance history, with some recurring faults and structural concerns. The most recent test in 2022 showed a pass with several advisories, including slight play in the front suspension arm ball joint and offside front wheel bearing. This suggests a worsening trend in the vehicle's mechanical condition, which is concerning given its age. The mileage pattern of approximately 8,047 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the MOT records show some notable gaps in testing, such as between 2013 and 2017, and a rapid accumulation of mileage between 2018 and 2022. The vehicle's MOT record is generally sparse, with some tests showing no defects recorded, but this does not necessarily indicate good maintenance. The 2019 failure, where the nearside front wheel bearing had excessive play, is a significant concern. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and structural integrity in person. The history of play in the front suspension arm ball joint and wheel bearings suggests wear and tear on these components. The vehicle's structure has been flagged for corrosion, which may compromise its rigidity. The advisories on the nearside front seatbelt webbing and the slight smear on the front wipers also indicate potential wear and tear on these components. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside, suspension, and brakes is essential to determine the extent of these issues and whether they pose a risk to the vehicle's roadworthiness.
