2002 Volkswagen Camper 2.5L Diesel · S44 CMT

The Volkswagen Camper presents a currently roadworthy status following the 16 December 2025 MOT pass at 329,338 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows a clean result with no defects recorded, though the prior day's 15 December 2025 failure at 329,337 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or undocumented rectification rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five available tests from November 2022 to December 2025, the vehicle cleared each subsequent examination without advisories, suggesting consistent baseline compliance. The recorded mileage of 329,338 against a 2002 model year equates to roughly 13,722 miles per annum, a high but not abnormal figure for a camper van used for touring. The records show modest annual accumulation: 303,061 miles in November 2022, 305,675 by November 2023, 311,131 at December 2024, and 329,338 by December 2025. This reflects steady use rather than standing idle or rapid wear cycles. The sparse clean history offers little granular detail on component condition, though the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across four years implies no escalating mechanical decline was observed by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's 24-year age and high total mileage, as MOT passes with no defects do not equate to a measured assessment of remaining bush life or exhaust emissions margins. The drivetrain and gearbox at over 329,000 miles warrant scrutiny for wear not captured in pass results. The unexplained December 2025 fail-pass sequence on consecutive days should be clarified with the seller to confirm no concealed defect prompted the initial rejection.
