2002 Fiat Motor Caravan 1.9L Diesel · FN02 RCU

The Fiat motor caravan presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 9 April 2025 at 123,097 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the five-year record. Two earlier failures on 2 August 2023 at 122,638 miles and 9 September 2024 at 123,083 miles were logged with no defects cited by the tester, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than outstanding roadworthiness defects. The recorded mileage of 123,097 against a 2002 build dates the vehicle at roughly 5,129 miles per year, which is low for a 24-year-old camper. The odometer moved only 2,156 miles between the July 2022 pass at 120,941 miles and the April 2025 pass. Such limited annual use suggests long stationary periods, a pattern that typically accelerates rubber perishing, brake caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion even when test results stay clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. The 2024 and 2023 failures with zero defects recorded give no signal of resolved mechanical faults, so previous owner care cannot be confirmed from the record alone. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity for rust at chassis mounting points before purchase. Given the sparse and clean advisory history, the DVSA data implies basic statutory testing was maintained but reveals little about consumable upkeep. Inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify the braking system is free from binding after standstill. The record supports roadworthiness today yet offers no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond minimum compliance.
