2002 Volkswagen Transporter 1.9L Diesel · AF02 UZG

The 2002 Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 86,660 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 86,660 against a 24 year lifespan equates to roughly 3,611 miles per year, marking this van as exceptionally low use for its age. Annual increments stay consistent and modest: the tester logged 75,300 miles in February 2022, 78,948 in March 2023, 81,352 in February 2024, 83,989 in February 2025, and 86,660 in March 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, fault-free record implies the previous keeper carried out basic upkeep and the vehicle saw light duties, though long static periods remain plausible given the low annual figures. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly along chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points where a Transporter of this era can hide rust despite a clean MOT. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests the tester found no worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or failing brake discs, yet MOT standards do not capture every fatigue issue on a 24 year old vehicle. Verify the condition of tyres, exhaust emissions components, and door hinges during viewing. Low mileage combined with a spotless record points to careful ownership, but age alone demands scrutiny of rubber perishes, fluid degradation, and intermittent electrical faults that a short annual test cannot expose.
