FORD RANGER2011 · 2.5L Diesel

This 2011 Ford Ranger has covered approximately 96,428 miles, which is a moderate annual average of around 6,400 miles. While this suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage commercial use, the MOT history indicates a pattern of age-related deterioration that requires careful scrutiny. The vehicle’s condition appears to be in a state of managed decline. While it passed its most recent MOT in June 2025, the advisories for misting rear shock absorbers suggest the suspension system is beginning to show its age. The history shows a recurring theme of corrosion and structural wear, specifically noted in 2021 and 2022, alongside previous issues with brake components and steering linkage play. The most significant concern is the 2024 MOT report, which noted that the vehicle is "heavily undersealed." While undersealing is often intended to protect against rust, it can also be used to mask existing corrosion on the chassis and body mounts. Because the vehicle has a history of structural and mounting insecurity, you must be wary that this coating may be hiding deeper issues that were not visible during the last inspection. The mileage is relatively low for a vehicle of this type, which could imply it has spent significant time in storage or was used for short, stop-start journeys rather than long-distance motorway driving. Short trips can often lead to accelerated wear on braking systems and suspension components, which aligns with the binding brakes and worn bushings noted in the history. Before purchasing, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and body mounting points.
