FORD RANGER2012 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its three consecutive clean pass results. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 129,786 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the Ranger currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. This follows a multi-year trend of clean records after a minor setback, suggesting that the owner has maintained the mechanical and structural components sufficiently to avoid recurring MOT advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old utility vehicle, averaging approximately 9,270 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 15,548 miles, showing a steady annual usage rate. A brief failure occurred in early January 2024 at 120,112 miles, but the vehicle passed a re-test just one week later at 120,209 miles. This interval suggests a minor adjustment issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a sign of systemic mechanical neglect. Given the clean nature of the recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Ford Ranger of this age. While the MOT does not flag current faults, the high mileage and age warrant a close look at structural corrosion on the chassis and leaf springs, particularly where salt and grime accumulate. Inspect the suspension bushes and ball joints for signs of tearing, as these components often degrade over 120,000 miles even if they trigger an immediate MOT failure.
