2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · CY67 AEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2024 at 80,698 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where several mechanical issues were identified. The transition from multiple advisories in 2022 to a clean test sheet suggests that the previous owner has addressed the outstanding braking and suspension concerns that surfaced during earlier inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression of usage, with 13,873 miles covered between the 2021 and 2022 tests, and another 14,255 miles between 2022 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing components like brake calipers from seizing. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorbers, as these were flagged for light misting of oil in both 2021 and 2022. While the 2024 test showed no defects, shock leaks can progress from minor misting to total failure over time. The braking system also warrants a physical check; the history shows thin front pads and fluctuating discs in 2021, followed by imbalanced rear brakes in 2022. Ensure that the work performed to resolve these issues involved high-quality components rather than just meeting the basic MOT threshold.
