2002 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · AX51 DVZ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection. The test conducted in February 2026 at 203,851 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle meets the minimum safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner has addressed necessary maintenance to keep the vehicle in operational condition without recurring mechanical failures. At 203,851 miles over 24 years, the Ford Transit averages approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals. Between February 2023 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 7,244 miles, while the interval between January 2025 and February 2026 saw an accumulation of 4,055 miles. This steady progression suggests the vehicle is not sitting stationary for long periods, which helps preserve the seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as high-age Transits are prone to significant corrosion. Although the MOT history is currently clean, the failure in February 2024 at 196,631 miles—resolved just six days later—indicates a point where a component required immediate attention. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and check the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the drivetrain and engine seals for leaks is essential to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for continued use.
