This 2011 Transit 115 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 32.7%, nearly half the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for buyers—these vans are failing their tests at a rate that suggests systemic wear or maintenance issues across the fleet. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent (0%), so failures are hitting emissions, brakes, and other serviceable areas rather than safety-critical systems.

At 153,000 miles median, these are genuinely high-mileage work vans, which explains much of the failure rate, but the average 0.79 failures per vehicle shows problems are concentrated rather than universal—some vans are well-maintained while others have been run hard. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the engine bay, suspension, and brake condition, and budget for immediate repairs; this isn't a case of buying cheap and hoping for the best.

The 2011 Ford Transit 115 T350l RWD has a below-average first-time pass rate (74.4% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.
