2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · GY71 DXU

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 30 September 2025 at 103,965 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This indicates a consistent maintenance standard where the previous owner successfully addressed potential issues before they could result in a mechanical or structural failure during the inspection process. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 20,800 miles per annum. Between the 28 September 2024 test at 75,854 miles and the 30 September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 28,111 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy commercial use or frequent long-distance motorway driving, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to average- vehicles. Despite the clean MOT records, a physical inspection must focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for signs of premature wear or leakage, as these degrade under heavy loads. The braking system should be checked for thin disc rotors and uneven pad wear, while the high mileage necessitates a close look at the clutch and turbo for any signs of fatigue that a standard MOT test would not capture.
