FORD RANGER2019 · 3.2L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the recent test in August 2025 at 77,054 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding thin front brake pads and both rear tyres reaching the legal limit. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life en masse. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a significant jump of 23,282 miles recorded between July 2024 at 53,772 miles and August 2025 at 77,054 miles. This high rate of usage over a thirteen-month period explains the accelerated wear observed on the brakes and tyres in the most recent inspection, as the vehicle has clearly been subjected to heavy use rather than sitting for long intervals. A buyer must inspect the front-end geometry and suspension alignment. The 2022 test at 34,008 miles flagged front tyres worn badly on the inner edge, and the 2025 test noted rear tyres also worn on the edge. This recurring pattern suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that will continue to cause premature tyre failure. Additionally, the front brake discs should be checked for thickness and pitting, as the 2022 record already identified them as scored and the 2025 record confirmed the pads are now thin.
