2021 Ford Transit 2.0L Diesel · CX71 AVD

The 2021 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 76,286 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 11 March 2025 examination at 52,666 miles also passed clean. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper maintained the van to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria. Mileage accumulation sits high for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 52,666 miles in March 2025 rising to 76,286 miles by March 2026, a 23,620-mile span in twelve months against a lifetime average near 15,257 miles per year. The gap between the two tests is exactly one year with no intermediate entries, so the data is sparse but clean. Such annual high use points to commercial duty cycles that load suspension bushes, driveshafts, and brake discs harder than private motoring would. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. Clean MOT sheets on a Transit of this mileage do not rule out early corrosion on sills, subframes, or the rear spring hangers, as testers often record structural rust only once it breaches prescribed limits. Examine the front suspension arms and rear leaf spring mounts for fatigue cracks. Check the brake disc thickness and caliper slide movement given the 23,620 miles added in the last year. Verify tyre sidewall dates and tread depth across all six positions, since high annual mileage consumes rubber quickly even when the last tester logged no advisory.
