Our Verdict
A viable option for buyers needing a Eur
Given that this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the average 2021 Transit Connect, a thorough review of the service history is essential. Verify that oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out at the correct intervals to support the 1.5L diesel engine's longevity.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the high mileage relative to the model average. Ensure that any evidence of a full service history is present to offset the risks associated with higher-than-average usage.
Equipped with a Euro 6 AQ diesel engine, this vehicle is compliant with major UK low-emission zones, avoiding daily charges in cities like London. Fuel efficiency is typical for the 1.5L variant, though the high annual mileage suggests higher overall fuel spend for the next owner.
Annual costs will include road tax and insurance, with maintenance likely focusing on wear-and-tear items. Based on the mileage and engine type, the estimated annual running cost is moderate for a commercial vehicle.
Pay close attention to the tyres and wheel alignment; the 2024 MOT specifically flagged the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. Check that these have been replaced and the alignment corrected.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps and windscreen wipers, as aggregate data identifies these as top failure reasons for the Transit Connect. Finally, check the interior for wear consistent with over 72,000 miles of use.
This 2021 white Ford Transit Connect has recorded 72,515 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 9,088 miles per year. The MOT history shows two passes, with the most recent test in October 2025 recording no defects. A previous test in 2024 noted advisories for tyre wear on the edges across three tyres, which aligns with common failure patterns for this model.
The Ford Transit Connect has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across a sample of 205,162 vehicles.
