2021 Ford Transit Connect 1.5L Diesel · YP21 TOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 March 2025 at 38,834 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified and that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards for safety and emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 9,589 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stationary storage. The gap between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests suggests a disciplined annual inspection schedule, which generally correlates with better-managed wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The failure on 7 March 2024 at 29,242 miles, followed by a pass just one day later, suggests a specific component failure required immediate attention. While the record does not specify the exact cause of that failure, a buyer should verify that the repair was thorough rather than a temporary fix. Given the low mileage for age, a physical inspection should focus on checking rubber components and control arm bushes for signs of cracking, as these can degrade over time even with low usage.
