2002 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · FN02 AZO

The 2002 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 15 October 2025 at 167,468 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the vehicle cleared without advisories on structural integrity, braking, suspension, or exhaust emissions. This unbroken pass sequence from 2022 through 2025 indicates the previous keeper maintained the van to a standard that satisfied DVLA test requirements annually. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 24-year-old light commercial. The odometer read 151,798 miles at the 28 May 2022 test, then 158,671 miles on 22 June 2023, 164,244 miles on 19 September 2024, and 167,468 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,978 miles per year across the vehicle's life, with annual additions of 6,873, 5,573, and 3,224 miles in the three latest intervals. The slowing yearly distance suggests lighter recent operation, though the 15-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests is wider than the usual twelve months. The absence of any advisories in the supplied record means no recurring wear trends on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion were flagged by testers. A clean history of this kind implies basic consumable upkeep was not neglected, yet MOT clearance alone does not certify component life remaining. A buyer should still inspect the van in person for underbody rust, perished rubber mountings, and brake caliper condition that a short test bay inspection might not record. Given the age and 167,468 miles, focus a pre-purchase check on the diesel drivetrain noise, clutch wear, and the rear load bay floor for water ingress or structural fatigue. The records show no failed items, but a Transit of this vintage will reward scrutiny of the steering linkage and exhaust hangers before commitment.
