FORD RANGER2018 · 3.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 43,932 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in late 2025. While the September 2025 test identified several items related to the braking and suspension, the subsequent clean pass a month later indicates that the previous owner addressed these faults to bring the vehicle up to test standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Ranger, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Conversely, the period between 2024 and 2025 saw only about 7,000 miles driven. This intermittent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system in person. The September 2025 test flagged play in the offside front track rod end ball joint and a fractured nearside front coil spring in the previous year. While these appear resolved, a physical check of the steering linkages for any further wear is vital. The record of a front oil leak in late 2025 also warrants a close look at the engine bay to ensure the leak has not worsened or remained active, as the tester only noted it was not excessive at that time.
