2011 FORD TRANSIT 115 T280S SAPH FW2.2L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-16 at 122,644 miles recorded a pass, but the preceding tests between 2024-10-25 and 2025-12-04 show a pattern of repeated failures with no defects noted. This suggests unresolved technical issues that may have been intermittently corrected, though the lack of specific fault details limits definitive conclusions. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test implies potential resolution, but the frequency of failures raises concerns about underlying mechanical or structural instability. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,644 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 8,176 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. However, the MOT records reveal erratic testing intervals, with multiple failures occurring within a 13-month span. For instance, the 2024-11-25 failure at 120,033 miles was followed by a pass just three days later at 120,157 miles, suggesting possible temporary fixes or inconsistent testing standards. The minimal mileage differences between tests (e.g., 124 miles between 2024-11-25 and 2024-11-28) indicate frequent retesting, which may reflect unresolved issues requiring repeated attention. A physical inspection is critical to assess components likely affected by the repeated failures. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems should be checked for wear, as recurring MOT issues often correlate with these parts. Structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in a 15-year-old van, warrant scrutiny, as exhaust emissions and binding calipers could also contribute to non-compliance. The lack of defect details in the records means buyers must independently verify the vehicle’s mechanical condition, focusing on areas prone to deterioration in high-mileage commercial vehicles.
