2017 FORD RANGER3.2L DIESEL

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026 at 124,131 miles resulted in a clean pass, with only minor defects related to lighting and a tampering issue on the diesel particulate filter. The February 2026 failure on 3 February, which revealed the missing offside front road wheel fixing and exceeded emissions limits, has now been rectified. However, the 2024 failures highlighted a fractured front coil spring and dangerously thin brake pads, indicating severe suspension and braking degradation that required immediate repair. The vehicle has accumulated over 13,000 miles annually, which is high for its age, suggesting heavy use that accelerates wear on critical components. The maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of suspension and brake failures, alongside issues with the exhaust system and electrical connections, pointing to inconsistent upkeep and potential ongoing structural fatigue. A buyer should conduct a thorough, hands-on inspection of the front suspension, wheel fixing points, brake discs and pads, and the exhaust system to verify that the repairs have been correctly executed and to identify any further hidden damage.
