2002 Ford Transit 2.4L Diesel · YX52 DFP

The Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 20 October 2025 at 99,208 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The latest test recorded no defects, and the preceding annual tests also returned clear results. The pattern shows no escalating mechanical faults and no outstanding advisories carried forward. Annual mileage sits low for a 24-year-old commercial vehicle. The records show 95,605 miles in September 2023, 97,115 miles by September 2024, and 99,190 miles by October 2025. That averages roughly 1,800 miles per year across the documented period, well under the 4,134 miles per annum lifetime figure. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, so no wear trends are visible in the official entries. Two failed tests appear in the record, on 11 September 2023 at 95,605 miles and 15 October 2025 at 99,190 miles, yet both list no defects recorded. This points to administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. The owner corrected the entries within days on both occasions, suggesting the vehicle was presented again promptly rather than left idle. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills in person, as the MOT record omits advisories that a 2002 van of this type commonly accrues. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions directly, since the clean tests do not confirm component condition beyond the test date. Low use over long intervals can mask perished rubber and binding calipers that a static record will not reveal.
