2016 FORD RANGER2.2L Diesel

The 2016 Ford Ranger presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 June 2025 at 69,560 miles. The tester recorded zero defects and zero advisories, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at its most recent inspection. This flawless record across the last five annual tests demonstrates consistent baseline care, with no recurring mechanical faults or emerging corrosion issues to suggest neglect. Analyzing the chronological mileage reveals a pattern of light, consistent use in recent years. Between the June 2021 test at 55,021 miles and the June 2022 test at 58,521 miles, the Ranger covered 3,500 miles. This steady accumulation continued, with 3,491 miles added by June 2023, 3,844 miles by June 2024, and 3,704 miles by June 2025. While the overall average of roughly 6,956 miles per year reflects typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, the recent annual increments sit well below the national average, suggesting the truck has spent its later life on short commutes or light duties rather than sustained heavy hauling. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of wear components that do not always trigger a failure certificate. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as light-duty use can sometimes mask slow deterioration from standing or corrosion. The brake discs and calipers require a tactile check for lipping and binding, respectively, since low-mileage driving can cause surface rust that might not have been severe enough to fail the 2025 test. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and load bed for corrosion, paying particular attention to mounting points and seam seals. Tyre age and tread depth also warrant scrutiny, as low annual mileage often means older rubber that may look adequately treaded but suffers from sidewall perishing. The exhaust system should be checked for gas leaks and secure mounting, ensuring the clean emissions result from June 2025 remains valid.
