2002 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · EX02 YBT

The 2002 Ford Transit currently holds a valid MOT certificate, having passed its most recent test on 2025-07-09 at 143,563 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record contains anomalies requiring context. The failure on 2025-07-01 at 143,552 miles lists no defects, indicating either an aborted test or a minor rectification completed before the pass eight days later. The same pattern occurred in 2023, with a failure on 2023-05-30 at 137,366 miles followed by a pass the next day at 137,372 miles. These entries suggest prompt rectification of minor issues rather than serious mechanical failures. The vehicle is roughly 24 years old with 143,563 miles recorded, averaging approximately 5,982 miles per year. This is notably low for a commercial vehicle. Between 2023-05-31 and 2024-06-18, the mileage increased by 3,446 miles over a thirteen-month period. The subsequent jump from 140,818 miles in June 2024 to 143,563 miles in July 2025 represents 2,745 miles over a similar timeframe. Usage remains consistent and minimal. Such low annual mileage often points to localized delivery work or prolonged periods of inactivity, which carries specific mechanical implications. Because the MOT history flags zero actual defects, the record offers no specific recurring faults to investigate. However, the vehicle's age and low mileage demand a thorough physical inspection. Standing for long durations can cause suspension bushes to perish and brake calipers to seize, even if the recent tests passed. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and outrappers for corrosion, a common affliction for older Transits. Examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing and flat-spotting from standing still. Check the exhaust system for leaks and verify the operation of all drivetrain components, as low-mileage commercial vehicles can suffer from moisture ingress and stale fuel issues.
