2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · CY67 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history at the most recent test. The December 2025 inspection at 110,201 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a pattern of successful testing seen in November 2024 at 97,914 miles and October 2023 at 85,663 miles. While the record shows two failed tests immediately preceding these passes, the lack of recorded defects during those failures suggests minor discrepancies that were rectified quickly without indicating systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is significant for a nine-year-old vehicle. Averaging approximately 12,245 miles per year, the truck has reached 110,201 miles, which sits on the higher end of the expected usage spectrum for this age. The consistent annual increases between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicate regular, heavy usage rather than long periods of stationary storage. This sustained mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for consistent work or long-distance transit. Given the high mileage and the nature of a Ford Ranger, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components that the MOT does not always capture in detail. You should scrutinize the underside for significant corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points. The increased mileage places higher stress on the drivetrain, so check for leaks around the differential and gearbox. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show wear after exceeding 100,000 miles. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or tyres in the recent history is a positive sign, but the high mileage warrants a close check of the brake calipers for binding and the thickness of the pads. Ensure the service history matches the mileage increments shown in the records to confirm that routine oil and filter changes have been performed consistently. The vehicle appears roadworthy based on the latest DVSA data, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough mechanical assessment of all consumables.
