2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · CY71 BWW

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 33,426 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 27 November 2024 at 25,370 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 25 November 2024 at the same 25,370 miles, where the DVSA system shows no defects logged; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it within two days. The mileage pattern sits within typical bounds for a five-year-old van. From the 25,370 miles recorded on 27 November 2024 to 33,426 miles on 18 November 2025, the vehicle covered just 8,056 miles in twelve months, equating to roughly 6,685 miles per year across its life. The record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps; the sparse three-entry history indicates light commercial use with no warning signs of neglected high-mileage wear on drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and the unexplained November 2024 failure. Although no advisories appear for corrosion or exhaust emissions, standing periods implied by lower mileage can accelerate perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres. Verify the 25 November 2024 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the blank defect field may mask a missed presentation rather than a true clean sheet.
