2021 Ford Tourneo Connect 1.5L Diesel · DN70 VEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT passed on 6 January 2026 at 118,093 miles, showing no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive passes and no advisories or failures across the last three tests, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical issues. The mileage progression is unusually high for a 2021 model, averaging 23,619 miles per year. Between the 2023 and 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 53,454 miles in just under 13 months — a rate far exceeding typical annual usage. This suggests heavy or commercial use, which accelerates wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. There is no evidence of long-term storage or low-mileage neglect, but the intensity of use raises the likelihood of accelerated component fatigue. Despite the clean record, a buyer must inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, as high mileage and frequent stops will have worn them significantly. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or fluid leakage — components that often degrade under sustained load. The exhaust system, particularly the rear silencer and mounting brackets, should be examined for corrosion, as high-mileage vehicles often show early rust in these areas. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity must also be verified, as the record shows no prior tyre-related advisories, suggesting replacements may have been made off-record. The engine and transmission have shown no warning signs in the MOT history, but a compression test and transmission fluid check are advised given the mileage. A full underbody inspection for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and rear suspension mounting points, is critical — high-mileage commercial vans frequently develop hidden corrosion in these zones.
