2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EK21 AHA

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 86,437 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical failures, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a state of reasonable repair despite heavy use. The mileage is high for a five year old vehicle, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between March 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 53,879 to 73,266 miles. Another 13,171 miles were added in the subsequent year leading up to the March 2026 test. This rapid accumulation indicates the van has likely served as a high-intensity commercial workhorse. The absence of MOT advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. While the record is clean, the high mileage suggests that wear on consumables is inevitable. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. These components typically degrade under the stress of high-mileage commercial operation even if they have not yet reached a failure threshold for an MOT. Check the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed view of structural integrity beyond the pass result. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements kept pace with the high annual mileage. The lack of recorded defects suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance, but physical verification of the drivetrain and tyre tread depth is necessary to confirm the current condition.
