2002 Volkswagen Transporter 2.5L Diesel · YX02 YSN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The test conducted on March 6, 2023, at 161,906 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum legal standards at that time. This followed a failure in February 2023 at just 39 miles prior, which suggests a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2020, the vehicle covered 6,401 miles, while it added another 5,569 miles in the two-year gap leading to the 2023 test. This steady rate suggests low-use patterns, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though the three-year gap since the last recorded MOT in March 2023 means the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual test as of today's date. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as early-generation Transporters are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points. While the record shows no mechanical advisories, the low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and perished brake lines. Inspect the lower suspension for cracks in the control arms and check the calipers for seized pistons, as long periods of standing can lead to internal corrosion despite low mileage figures.
