2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · GX52 GPJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 September 2025 at 141,975 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components meet the minimum standard without recurring failures, suggesting the previous owner has been proactive in addressing issues before they result in test failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,916 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 128,674 miles and September 2025 at 141,975 miles, the vehicle covered 13,301 miles. This consistency suggests regular use without excessive strain, though the low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids that can dry out or crack over time regardless of distance travelled. The record shows reliable annual testing. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the Transporter necessitates a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and mounting points, as these are common areas of rot on this generation. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the brake lines and suspension bushes for perished or cracking, and verify the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring which often occurs during periods of standing or light use.
