In 1990 a number of coaches including 16202 were found to be shedding their roof paint, which was stripped and repainted as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Award project.<ref>SVR News 97</ref> By 1994 the aluminium window units were coming loose, requiring drilling out the remaining pop rivets, cleaning, painting and re-bedding all of them. A further repaint was carried out at the same time.<ref>SVR News 110</ref> The carriage was re-wheeled in 1996 and also received new curtains from the proceeds of aluminium can scrap re-cycling by the [[L.M.S. & B.R. Coach Department Sales Coach|LMS & BR Coach Fund]]. Two steamed up double-glazed window units were also replaced.<ref>SVR News 119-121</ref>
In spring 1999 the paintwork has had a ‘good scrub’ and stone chips patched up followed by re-varnishing. The roof was also stripped and repainted, and upholstery repairs carried out to all of the compartments.<ref>SVR News 129</ref> In 2002 the first class seats were replaced, with the worn out 1970's moquette being substituted with a new blue and gold version applied by Alstom Traincare of Coventry.<ref>SVR News 142</ref>
A further overhaul was carried out in 2005, including the replacement of a set of wheels in one bogie, buckeye and drawbar overhauls, attention to the droplights, new third-class upholstery and an internal repaint and varnish.<ref>SVR News 149</ref> In 2010 the coach was lifted for a wheelset change and removal of asbestos from a steam pipe. To achieve this it was necessary to remove seating and heater covers, followed by re-assembly and interior decorating. The luggage racks also received attention.<ref>SVR News 170</ref>
