Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing
When inspecting this specific 1.5L diesel Transit Connect, focus on the recent MOT advisory regarding the offside front tyre. Ensure that the tyre has been replaced and that the wear wasn't caused by alignment issues, which is common on commercial vehicles used for heavy loads.
Request evidence of regular servicing, as the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate average for this model year. Given the higher-than-average usage, check the condition of the suspension components and brake pads, which may experience more wear than a typical passenger-equivalent vehicle.
Fuel economy for the 1499cc diesel engine is generally efficient for a small van, though actual figures will depend heavily on load weight and driving style. As a Euro 6 vehicle, it avoids many daily charges in ULEZ or CAZ zones, which is a significant cost factor for business users.
Insurance groups for the Transit Connect vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular diesel filter changes and tyre replacements, especially given the wear pattern noted in the 2025 MOT.
Directly address the 2025 MOT advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This specific type of wear often indicates a need for a wheel alignment or camber adjustment.
While no headlamp or windscreen wiper failures were recorded for this specific vehicle, these are the most common failure points for the Transit Connect model aggregate. It is worth checking these components during your test drive to ensure they meet standard operating requirements.
This 2021 Ford Transit Connect presents with 39,746 miles on the clock, which is notably higher than the model average of 9,088 miles per year. The MOT history is sparse but shows a pass in 2024 with no defects, followed by a pass in 2025 that noted a worn offside front tyre. As a Euro 6 diesel, it remains compliant with most UK low-emission zones.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving lighting, wipers, and tyres.
