2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · EK71 YJO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of administrative-related failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 9 May 2025 at 31,047 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified just two days prior were addressed. This sequence suggests that the previous failures were likely minor and easily rectified rather than indicative of a deep-seated mechanical decline or structural neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a light-use commercial vehicle profile, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 24,242 miles and the May 2025 test at 31,047 miles, the vehicle covered 6,805 miles. This steady rate of use suggests predictable wear patterns on consumables such as the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The lack of significant mileage spikes indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme or heavy-load duty cycles. While the recent history is clean, the double failures in late 2024 and early 2025 warrant a close physical inspection of common Transit failure points. Since the records do not list specific defect codes for those failures, a buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers and check the integrity of the suspension arms for signs of play. Given the low mileage, inspecting the chassis for any early signs of corrosion is also essential to ensure that the low use has not masked environmental degradation of the structural components.
