2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · CW02 AZV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful pass on 16 July 2025 at 218,542 miles. This record indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the van has cleared its annual inspections without any recorded advisories or failures over the last four years. The single failure on 15 July 2025 appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly, given that the vehicle passed the following day without any defects being noted on the certificate. With a total of 218,542 miles accumulated over 24 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,100 miles per annum. The mileage progression remains consistent, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty cycles. The annual increments are predictable, with the vehicle covering roughly 10,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, which suggests the engine and drivetrain have been kept in active service rather than left to sit. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not fully captured by the MOT test, specifically the condition of the clutch, gearbox synchromesh, and turbocharger health, which are common wear points for this high-mileage Transporter platform. While the clean MOT history suggests the chassis and suspension components are currently performing within tolerance, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for hidden corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans. Inspect the underside for any recent underseal application that might be masking structural deterioration. Prioritise a detailed examination of the cooling system and rubber hoses, as these components often perish regardless of the vehicle's pass record.
