2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · FP21 ABF

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT record. On 26 April 2024 at 91,130 miles, the tester passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance state at that point in time, as the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards without any flagged areas of mechanical or structural concern. The recorded mileage of 91,130 miles over a five-year period reflects an average usage of approximately 18,200 miles per annum. This is significantly above the national average for light commercial vehicles, which typically places accelerated strain on heavy-duty components and drivetrain systems. Since the last test was conducted over two years ago, the vehicle has likely covered substantial additional mileage beyond the last recorded figure, increasing the likelihood of unforeseen wear on consumable items since the April 2024 pass. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the components most affected by high-mileage commercial use. Given the mileage, the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs should be examined for play or perished rubber which often manifest under heavy loads. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding calipers or uneven thinning of the discs, as the high-frequency stop cycles accelerate thermal stress on hardware. Structural integrity of the chassis must also be verified for corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear mounting points where Transit models often accumulate moisture. While the MOT history shows no past faults, the elapsed time since the last test means the current condition of the tyre tread, wiper blades, and exhaust system remains vital to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy for immediate use.
