2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · LD21 ENT

The 2021 Ford Transit Connect presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 August 2025 at 16,311 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. The preceding test on 14 August 2024 at 13,883 miles also returned a completely clean pass. This consecutive pattern of defect-free tests indicates no worsening mechanical or structural trend and suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard across its two recorded test cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old commercial vehicle. Between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, the odometer advanced by just 2,428 miles, bringing the total from 13,883 to 16,311. Over the full five-year span, the recorded mileage of 16,311 equates to roughly 3,262 miles per year, well below typical annual usage for a Transit Connect. Such low accumulation raises the possibility of extended periods of standing, which can affect tyre sidewall condition, brake surface corrosion, and fluid degradation, even if the MOT itself flagged no issues. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage commercial vehicles can develop latent faults that do not always surface during a stationary emissions and safety check. Examine the tyres for date codes and perishing, particularly if the van has sat unused for long stretches. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on brake lines, suspension components, and the exhaust system, as short-trip use accelerates moisture-related corrosion. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could indicate neglect during periods of inactivity.
