2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · FX21 LHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 8 May 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in condition compared to the previous two clean records. While the van passed without defects in both 2024 and 2025, the most recent inspection identified specific wear on consumable components that requires immediate attention to prevent future failures or compromised safety standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The vehicle covered 12,048 miles between the May 2024 test at 29,369 miles and the May 2025 test at 41,317 miles, followed by another 13,594 miles prior to the most recent test. This steady progression suggests regular operation rather than long periods of inactivity, which explains the natural degradation of materials like tyres and rubber components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear braking system, as the tester flagged the nearside rear brake pads as thin during the latest test. The advisory regarding cracking or perishing on both rear tyres suggests the rubber is degrading due to age or environmental exposure despite potentially having sufficient tread depth. You should check the sidewalls of the tyres for deep fractures and verify the brake discs show no signs of heat scoring or uneven wear caused by the thinning pads.
