2012 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · BD62 AAJ

The 2012 Ford Ranger presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2024-11-26 assessment at 117,120 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance since 2023, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged. A single failed test in 2022-11-21 at 113,126 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved concern. The absence of advisories or failures in subsequent tests indicates the owner likely addressed any underlying issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,366 miles annually. The 2021-12-10 test at 104,287 miles shows a gap of 8,844 miles before the next assessment in 2022-11-22, which may reflect extended periods of inactivity or infrequent motoring. Subsequent tests in 2022 and 2023 show consistent mileage increments, with no signs of excessive wear on consumables or major components. The clean record since 2023 suggests proactive maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific repairs. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible defects. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or fatigue in the chassis may not appear in MOT tests. While the vehicle’s history shows no critical failures, the 2022 failed test without recorded defects highlights the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
