FORD RANGER2020 · 3.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 83,710 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical faults once flagged by the tester. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over its six-year life. Between September 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 11,345 miles, while it added another 7,954 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation is typical for a commercial or long-distance work vehicle, which places predictable stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings rather than the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. The primary point of historical concern remains the failure in September 2023 at 64,258 miles due to a fractured nearside front coil spring. While this was cleared in the subsequent test, a buyer should personally inspect the front suspension assembly for signs of premature wear, uneven tyre, or leaking shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is also warranted to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the braking system beyond standard consumable wear.
