2021 Ford Transit Connect 200 ACT Eblu A 1.5L Diesel · EF70 RXP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 39,416 miles. While the vehicle passed, the maintenance trend shows the emergence of wear with the advisory for thin rear brake pads. This represents a shift from the clean records seen in the previous two years, indicating that consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. The vehicle covered 9,000 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, followed by a more significant increase of 13,493 miles leading to the January 2026 test. This recent increase in usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally positive for mechanical seals and fluid components, though it explains the accelerated wear on the braking system noted in the latest report. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the thin pads have not caused uneven wear on the brake discs or seized the calipers. Given the advisory at 39,416 miles, checking for any fluid leaks or scoring on the rotors is necessary. The history shows no previous structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but a standard check of the suspension bushes and tyre condition remains advisable to ensure the recent increased annual mileage has not compromised the integrity of the chassis components.
