2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · GD02 FJA

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 20 November 2025 at 193,247 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard where mechanical and safety components are operating within acceptable parameters without the immediate failures often seen in aging commercial vans. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 13,787 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than long periods of static neglect. The interval of 6,215 miles between the July 2024 and November 2025 tests indicates the vehicle remains in regular use today. This lack of rapid mileage accumulation reduces the likelihood that the drivetrain or suspension components have been subjected to extreme stress in a short time frame. While the digital record is clean, the age and mileage of this Transporter necessitate a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity and wear items. A buyer should specifically check the sills, floor pans, and chassis rails for corrosion, as these are common failure points on this generation that MOT testers may not catch until they become significant. Given the age, the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for cracking or perished material. The absence of recorded advisories for brakes or tyres suggests good upkeep, but a manual check of disc thickness and tyre tread depth remains essential to ensure no hidden wear is present.
