VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER2002 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of consistent maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 17 June 2025 at 130,374 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, immediately following a failure just one day prior at four miles lower. This suggests a minor, easily rectified issue that was addressed quickly by the owner. Since June 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recurring advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old Trans, averaging approximately 5,432 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with 4,000 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 2,539 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or accelerated fluid oxidation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Transporters of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pan sections. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish or fatigue regardless of distance traveled. Additionally, inspecting the brake system for binding calipers or seized sliders is vital, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the discs if they are not frequently used.
