2021 FORD RANGER2.0L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 21 July 2026 at 84,080 miles recorded a pass, confirming the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at this date. The test followed a failure the previous day for nearside‑rear tyre tread approaching the legal limit and a defective exhaust particulate filter, both of which appear to have been remedied sufficiently for a pass. Recurring issues are limited to the nearside‑rear tyre wear and a historic registration‑plate lamp fault, indicating a generally stable maintenance pattern with only minor consumable wear to monitor. Across the five‑year life span the mileage averages roughly 16,800 miles per year, which is high for a 2021 model. The odometer rose from 65,449 miles on 25 July 2024 to 69,595 miles on 30 July 2025, a modest increase of 4,146 miles in twelve months. The subsequent jump to 84,080 miles by 20 July 2026 adds 14,485 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of intensified use or reduced downtime. No large gaps in testing are evident; the annual July tests provide a clear mileage progression. A prospective buyer should verify the nearside‑rear tyre tread depth in person, ensuring it remains comfortably above the 1.6 mm legal minimum and that the tyre is free from edge wear. The registration‑plate lamp, flagged as inoperative in both 2024 and 2025, must be confirmed as functional, as the MOT does not record a subsequent repair. Although the particulate filter defect was cleared for the 2026 pass, a visual inspection of the exhaust system and a diagnostic check for filter efficiency would be prudent. Given the high mileage, a thorough examination of brake pads, discs, and suspension components such as bushings and coil springs is advisable to rule out accelerated wear that the MOT record does not capture.
