2002 Ford Transit 350 LWB TD Heavy oil · SV52 BCY

The 2023‑05‑25 MOT at 167,894 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend, as all preceding tests from 2006 onward also recorded zero defects. The recorded mileage averages about 6,900 miles per year, consistent with a 24‑year‑old van, and shows a generally steady accumulation; notable jumps occur between 2007 (91,880 mi) and 2008 (123,259 mi) and again from 2008 to 2009 (156,942 mi), while the 2010 reading of 109,512 mi represents a brief decline that may reflect a data entry variation. No extended periods of zero mileage are evident, suggesting regular use throughout most of its life. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust, especially around the underbody and exhaust system, as these components are prone to fatigue at high mileage. The absence of recorded defects across multiple tests indicates that previous owners have addressed wear promptly, but the high mileage warrants a thorough in‑person inspection of steering linkage, tyre condition, and fluid levels before purchase.
