FORD RANGER2011 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 52,115 miles. While the record shows initial failures on those dates in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes with no recorded advisories indicate that any minor defects identified were rectified immediately by the owner. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural deterioration across the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Ford Ranger, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Data shows a significant gap of 10,000 miles between July 2023 (38,085 miles) and July 2024 (48,095 miles), followed by roughly 4,000 miles in the final year. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits for long periods or is used only for occasional tasks. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of age-related issues such as perished seals, seized components, and brake corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the condition of rubber components and fluid integrity. Low-usage often leads to cracking in suspension bushes, bushings, and tyre sidewalls despite having ample tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and calipers for seizing, as infrequent use can cause these to bind. Given the vehicle's age, checking the chassis for structural rust and corrosion is essential, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental damage to the frame.
