Brakes — 17.8% of failures
Brakes issues account for 17.8% of MOT failures on 2011 Ford Transit 140 T350l Rwd models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Suspension — 11.1% of failures
Suspension issues account for 11.1% of MOT failures on 2011 Ford Transit 140 T350l Rwd models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding.

Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
