1994 FORD RANGER2.3L PETROL

The 1994 Ford Ranger has a recorded mileage of 152,408 miles, making it approximately 32 years old. At an average of 4,763 miles per year, this is significantly lower than typical usage for its age, which could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity. However, low mileage does not inherently guarantee mechanical soundness, as vehicles left unused for long periods may develop issues like corrosion, fluid degradation, or component stiffness. The most recent MOT on 2014-02-21 recorded a minor exhaust leak (7.1.2) but no other defects. This suggests the vehicle passed inspection, though the absence of more recent MOT data is a concern. The prior MOT on 2013-05-16 showed multiple issues: both front wheel bearings had slight play (2.5.A.3c), both front shocks had reduced damping, and the nearside rear tyre tread was below the legal limit (4.1.E.1). A subsequent MOT on 2013-04-24 resulted in a failure, citing similar wheel bearing play, deteriorated brake hoses, insecure battery mounting, and further tyre tread issues. Recurring defects include wheel bearing play, shock damping loss, and brake hose deterioration. These issues were present in 2013 but only a minor exhaust defect was noted in 2014. While the 2014 MOT suggests some improvements, the lack of recent testing means it is unclear whether the underlying problems were resolved or if new issues have emerged.
