2021 Ford Transit Connect 200 Actve Eblu 1.5L Diesel · ML21 YSB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding basic consumable upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 64,939 miles, it returned with recurring advisories that were absent in the previous year. The persistent presence of a deteriorated rear registration plate across the last two tests suggests a lack of attention to minor cosmetic requirements, despite these not resulting in a failure. The van has covered approximately 65,000 miles over its five-year life, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per year. This represents a consistent and heavy usage pattern, with 19,000 miles driven between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 14,665 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This high mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commercial or commuting duties, which accelerates the wear rate on suspension components and braking systems. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the front suspension geometry and alignment. The recurring inner edge wear noted on both front tyres in both 2025 and 2026 indicates a misalignment, likely caused by worn ball joints, control arm bushes, or incorrect tracking. Leaving this unaddressed will continue to cause premature tyre failure and potentially affect handling. The buyer should also check the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as the high annual mileage puts significant strain on the braking system.
