2002 Ford Transit 350 LWB TD 2.4L Heavy oil · FEZ 4287

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passing tests despite its age. The most recent inspection on 28 November 2025 at 189,513 miles resulted in no defects recorded, following a failure just one week prior at 189,437 miles. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance. The lack of recorded advisories across the last several successful tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently in acceptable condition for a vehicle of this mileage. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 24-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 7,900 miles per annum. There is a notable three-year gap in records between November 2019 and January 2022, during which the vehicle covered only 11,848 miles. Since 2022, the usage has increased significantly, covering nearly 29,000 miles in three years. This recent uptick in activity suggests the van has transitioned back into a more active service cycle, which typically places higher stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. While the digital record is clean of recurring faults, the age and mileage of this Ford Transit necessitate a physical inspection of common failure points. A buyer should scrutinise the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear members and door mounting points, where rust often develops on these models. Given the high mileage, checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is vital to ensure no excessive wear. Additionally, testing for brake caliper binding or uneven disc wear will ensure the recent increase in usage has not led to mechanical degradation.
