2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · AP71 CXH

The 2021 Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 56,202 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 28 October 2024 at 39,349 miles also passed clean. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicates the previous keeper maintained the van to a standard that satisfied DVSA examiners without escalation of faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,240 miles per year against the 56,202 recorded, which is typical for a five-year-old light commercial vehicle. The record shows a 16,853-mile accumulation between October 2024 and October 2025, a normal yearly spread with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes implied. The supplied history is sparse, containing only two entries, both clean, so no recurring defect pattern or worsening trend can be drawn from the data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the age and load profile of a Transit Connect. The MOT record flags no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns across either test, which lowers the risk of hidden structural rot. Given the absence of any advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers, consumable wear appears managed. The clean history suggests disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance, but physical verification of underside condition and drivetrain noise remains prudent before purchase.
