2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BD21 DDF

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 62,854 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 June 2024 at 49,103 miles shows no advisories or recurring faults carried forward. The vehicle's history indicates consistent statutory compliance with no outstanding mechanical concerns flagged by DVSA testers. The recorded mileage of 62,854 against a 2021 registration equates to roughly 12,571 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to regular active use rather than long idle periods. Between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests the van covered 13,751 miles, a typical annual load. The only anomaly is the failed test on 10 June 2024 at 49,101 miles with no defects listed, followed two days later by a pass at 49,103 miles; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it without delay. Given the absence of advisories across all passes, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc wear, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions under load. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but high annual mileage accelerates drivetrain and clutch fatigue invisible on an MOT certificate. A pre-purchase check of structural integrity beneath the sills and wheel arches remains sensible on any high-use van. No corrosion or binding calipers appear in the data, yet the sparse three-entry history limits insight into intermediate wear patterns between tests.
