2013 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · HH03 BRY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 25 June 2025 at 87,626 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety and environmental standards. This represents an improvement over the previous year where the vehicle failed its initial test before a re-test, suggesting that the owner proactively addressed identified issues to maintain a valid test certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a lower-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,740 miles per year. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 7,376 miles, followed by a further 13,242 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. While the low mileage generally reduces the wear on high-stress drivetrain and engine components, the significant age of the vehicle means that rubber-based components and metal elements may suffer from degradation due to time rather than mechanical friction. While the recent record is clean, the buyer must investigate the specific causes of the failures in May 2023 and 2024. Since the provided data does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, a physical inspection should focus on the chassis integrity, suspension bushes, and brake lines, which are common failure points on this era. Older Ford Rangers are prone to structural corrosion on the underside and leaf spring mounts, which can remain hidden during a standard MOT if the tester does not probe deeply. The buyer should also check for signs of seized calipers or perished rubber hoses to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in fluid leaks or internal corrosion during the vehicle's periods of standing.
