2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · FN02 VZH

The Volkswagen Transporter presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 22 July 2025 at 165,897 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes from May 2022 through July 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed test on 14 July 2025 at 165,638 miles is logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component, resolved by the pass eight days later. Recorded mileage rose from 127,413 in May 2022 to 165,897 by July 2025, an accumulation of around 38,484 miles over three years or roughly 12,800 per year. This sits above the lifetime average of about 6,912 annually, indicating moderate recent use rather than long periods standing. The gap between the May 2023 pass at 134,707 miles and the May 2024 pass at 148,413 miles shows steady yearly travel near 14,000 miles, with no abrupt jumps or dormant stretches in the data. The clean MOT record gives no tester-raised concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the lifespan. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and subframe mounts given the vehicle's 24-year age and 165,897 miles, as MOT pass rates on older vans often omit early-stage rust until it breaches the test threshold. The July 2025 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation of the DVSA reason code before purchase, to rule out a mileage discrepancy or documentation issue. Otherwise the history implies conscientious annual testing and no skipped consents, though consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades remain outside the scope of a fault-free record.
