Is this the immobiliser light you’re on about?
What tool are you using to read the codes? Transits are funny about what they want used. Usually IDS or Forscan are the go to software.

Not sure about coding but you’ll need the mileage changing afaik. Unless that info is stored in the BCM/PCM/ECU I’m not sure.

Mk7 mileage is stored in the clocks themselves.

No it doesn't need coding, but, as above, you're stuck with whatever mileage is stored in the clocks that you buy.

I believe somebody like our "Vantuner" may be able to "manipulate" the mileage...but I suspect he'd need the van with clocks fitted to do that.
