2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · EO52 HGP

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile for its age. The most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 238,870 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that is kept in a state of readiness. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 24 year old utility vehicle. Between the May 2022 test at 231,665 miles and the July 2025 test at 238,870 miles, the vehicle covered 7,205 miles over approximately three years. This indicates a period of lighter use in recent years compared to its lifetime average of 9,953 miles per year, which reduces the immediate risk of rapid drivetrain wear. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last four years is rare for a Transporter of this vintage. The records show no mentions of the common structural corrosion, suspension bush degradation, or brake disc pitting typically found in high mileage vans. The previous owners appear to have addressed mechanical issues before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check for slow oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, and inspect the condition of the clutch pedal feel. While the MOT history is clean, the high total mileage means the buyer should verify the service intervals for the timing belt and water pump to ensure these critical components are not overdue for replacement.
