Doulbe check that, I may be mistaken but I thought the 85ps was a 2.0TDCi and the 110ps was the 2.2. Listen for a "chattering" when starting or shutting off the engine, this points towards the EGR failing.
I had a 57 Transit T280 85ps in a company I used to work for, took it from 30-odd thousand to 70-odd thousand. In that time it killed x 2 starter motors, split an intercooler hose and killed a battery. It also averaged low high 20- low 30s on diesel (that said I did drive it flat out everywhere!), I also did mainly servicing and breakdowns, so the started had higher than normal use, probably got started around 15-20 times a day!
I'd have another in a heartbeat though, I've driven loads of vans and the Transit is by far the most enjoyable to drive.
