2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CX71 AHV

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 October 2025 at 29,586 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examination on 23 October 2024 at 23,601 miles also yielded a clean pass. The vehicle shows no recurring faults, advisories, or escalating mechanical concerns across its two available histories. Mileage accumulation remains low for a five-year-old 2021 panel van. The odometer advanced only 5,985 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year. Such restrained use suggests light commercial duty or extended stationary periods. The sparse MOT record contains just two entries, yet both are unblemished, implying the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline without deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given that MOT passes at low mileage do not expose latent wear from infrequent operation. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity issues, but underbody rust can develop on vehicles left standing. Examine brake discs for surface pitting and verify tyre sidewall condition, as prolonged inactivity degrades rubber and fluid more than high-mileage rotation. Check exhaust emissions and drivetrain mounts during a road test, since the clean record offers no warning of impending consumable failure. The absence of advisories reflects current compliance rather than a guarantee of long-term reliability.
