2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · GL52 AMO

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 1 December 2025 at 95,172 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or used in a manner that avoids typical wear and tear. The mileage is remarkably low for a 24 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 3,966 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 90,750 miles and the December 2025 test at 95,172 miles, the odometer increased by only 4,422 miles over four years. This low usage rate indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short, light-duty trips. While the MOT record is devoid of mechanical failures, the low mileage and age of this Transporter necessitate a specific physical inspection. Long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which may not be flagged during a standard test if they remain functional. A buyer should check for signs of brake caliper seizure or binding, as well as the condition of the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking. Particular attention must be paid to the chassis and bodywork. The MOT history does not mention corrosion, but structural rust is common in vehicles of this era regardless of mileage. Inspect the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for surface rust or structural degradation that a tester might have overlooked if the vehicle was presented clean. Verify the fluid conditions to ensure oil and coolant have been changed regularly despite the low annual mileage.
