2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · S700 SGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 11 June 2026. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive care where faults are addressed only after a failure occurs. While the most recent test failed due to a non-functional 13-pin trailer electrical socket, this was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. This suggests the current owner is willing to address mechanical defects once flagged, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 28,579 miles, the Transit Connect has covered low mileage for its five years, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with 1,130 miles recorded between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests, and another 4,540 miles since. This low annual mileage typically implies less mechanical stress on the engine and heavy suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or perished rubber seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension alignment and tyre wear patterns in person. The June 2024 failure flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This specific wear often indicates incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes, which can cause premature tyre degradation. Additionally, verify the windscreen washer system and the trailer electrical wiring harness, as these were recent points of failure that require verification to ensure the repairs were durable.
