2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · HT21 EWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 63,740 miles passed with an advisory for a distorted and dented offside front rim. While the vehicle has passed consecutive tests, the previous records show a consistent pattern of neglecting basic wear items, which were only addressed once they reached legal limits or near failure points. At 63,740 miles over five years, this Transit Connect has averaged approximately 12,750 miles per year. This represents significant usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 11,442 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 14,765 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. This high annual mileage accelerates the wear on suspension components, drivetrain bushings, and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre alignment history. The 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged tyres worn on the inner edges, which typically points to incorrect camber settings or worn ball joints rather than simple mileage. The distorted rim noted in the 2026 test also suggests a significant impact that may have compromised the steering rack or wheel bearing integrity. Furthermore, as the front brake pads were 70 percent worn in 2025, the current state of the pads and discs must be verified to ensure they are not again nearing the end of their service life.
