2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · BT71 ULS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following its most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025 at 21,314 miles where it passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, suggesting that the issues identified in the past were addressed and that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,263 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 10,105 miles and the December 2025 test at 21,314 miles, the vehicle covered 11,209 miles. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Although the most recent record is clean, the November 2024 test flagged both the offside and nearside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on edge. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tyre condition for uneven wear and verify the front suspension geometry to ensure the underlying cause of the previous wear has been rectified. Given the low mileage, the brakes should also be checked for surface pitting or seizing, which frequently occur on vehicles that are used sparingly.
