2021 Ford Transit Courier 1.0L Petrol · CU71 BHE

The 2021 Ford Transit Courier presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent DVLA test on 2 September 2025 at 23,529 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects listed points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, as the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met standards that day. Across the available history the maintenance record stays clean, showing no advisories or repairs across either examination. The recorded mileage sits low for a five-year-old van. The August 2024 test at 17,519 miles and the September 2025 test at 23,529 miles show only 6,010 miles added in thirteen months, an average of roughly 4,700 miles per year. Such limited use suggests light duties or extended standing periods, which can mask wear on items that degrade with age rather than distance, yet the sparse record gives no evidence of neglect or rapid accumulation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low-mileage vans left idle often develop corrosion or seized components unseen in a clean MOT. The absence of advisories means the tester found no immediate risk to structural integrity or exhaust emissions, but the twin 2 September 2025 entries warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason to rule out a clerical error. Given the fault-free history and modest annual use, the vehicle shows signs of careful upkeep by an owner avoiding heavy load cycles. Verify service stamps against the low mileage and inspect underneath for early rust before purchase.
