2002 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · CW02 GNV

The Ford Transit presents a passed roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 8 April 2023 at 169,630 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2022 and 2021 alongside the latest certificate. A failed entry on the same date as the final pass suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, since no defects were listed on either 8 April 2023 record. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 24-year-old van, averaging near 7,000 miles per year. The record shows 151,361 miles on 13 November 2021, rising to 161,667 by 14 April 2022 and 169,630 by April 2023, a steady roughly 8,000-mile annual climb. One anomaly stands out: a failed test dated 27 September 2021 logs only 15,924 miles, a figure inconsistent with the surrounding entries and almost certainly a clerical error by the tester or DVSA input. Aside from that, the sparse clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Given the absence of advisories or defects across the valid tests, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items not always caught in a pass. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close checking on a 2002 chassis with 169,630 miles. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear, and the exhaust emissions verified against the 2.0-litre diesel norm for the era. The contradictory 8 April 2023 pass and fail at identical mileage demands the seller produce the VT20 and VT30 documents to confirm the live certificate. No recurring mechanical faults emerge from the data, but the unexplained 2021 mileage drop means the true odometer history cannot be trusted from this record alone.
