2021 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · WH21 SON

This 2021 Ford Transit Courier presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded across all three MOT tests. The most recent test, conducted on 3 June 2026 at 45,000 miles, passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical and structural condition. The absence of any recurring faults across the full history suggests consistent upkeep and no underlying systemic issues. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a five-year-old commercial vehicle. Between the first test on 1 May 2024 at 28,076 miles and the second on 16 April 2025 at 34,583 miles, the vehicle covered 6,507 miles over roughly eleven months. From April 2025 to June 2026, it added 10,417 miles over thirteen months, reflecting a slightly higher usage rate in the most recent period. This is consistent with a working van seeing regular deployment rather than prolonged standing, and the annualised figure of approximately 9,000 miles aligns with typical light commercial use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection. With 45,000 miles on the clock, consumable components such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes will have experienced meaningful wear and should be measured against service limits. The front lower suspension arms and anti-roll bar links on Transit-based platforms are known to develop play over time, so a physical check for clunking or uneven tyre wear is advisable. Exhaust emissions compliance has been consistently met, but a cold-start inspection for excessive smoke or leaks around the DPF and exhaust manifold would confirm the engine remains healthy. Structurally, the record shows no corrosion-related advisories, which is encouraging for a commercial vehicle of this age. Still, an underbody inspection focusing on the chassis rails, sills, and around the rear cargo area is prudent, as surface rust can develop in these zones without triggering an MOT failure until advanced. The clean MOT history is a strong positive indicator, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical assessment before purchase.
