2002 Ford Transit 280 LWB 2.4L Diesel · PCZ 2981

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 24 November 2023 at 144,119 miles. This test saw the vehicle pass without any recorded defects, suggesting a stable period of mechanical presentation. While the history shows a pattern of failures in 2022 and late 2023, the immediate passes following those failures indicate that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle on the road. The mileage records indicate a consistent low-use pattern, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its twenty-four-year life. There is a notable gap in testing between December 2019 and March 2022, during which the vehicle covered roughly 5,200 miles. Since the April 2022 test, the vehicle has covered fewer than 200 miles. This low annual mileage relative to the age suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and load bearing areas, as low-mileage Transits of this era are prone to hidden corrosion despite low usage. Examine the suspension bushes, brake lines, and exhaust system for signs of advanced rust, as the previous failures suggest the vehicle has required mechanical attention recently. Because the vehicle has not been tested since November 2023, the buyer must ensure that the brake discs have not seized or developed significant pitting during the recent period of inactivity.
