Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing
When negotiating on this specific grey Ranger, use the high mileage as a primary lever. At over 82,000 miles, it has been driven much more intensively than the average vehicle of this age. You should request evidence of a consistent service history to ensure the 1996cc diesel engine has been maintained according to Ford's intervals.
Check the service records specifically for any recent brake or tyre replacements, as the 2024 MOT noted wearing brake pads and a worn tyre. Ensure that the work suggested by those 2024 advisories was actually carried out, as the 2025 and 2026 tests show no defects, implying those components were addressed.
As a 2.0L Euro 6 diesel, this Ranger is designed for efficiency in a large vehicle, though real-world fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is currently compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Maintenance costs for this model tend to align with heavy-duty utility vehicles. You should budget for more frequent tyre and brake replacements given the vehicle's usage patterns. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically fall between £2,200 and £2,800 depending on annual mileage.
Given the 2024 MOT history, pay close attention to the condition of the front tyres and brake pads. While the 2025 and 2026 tests recorded no defects, it is worth physically inspecting the tread depth and checking for uneven wear on the edges, which could indicate alignment issues.
Additionally, while not flagged in this vehicle's history, the aggregate data for Ford Rangers suggests that headlamps and coil springs are common MOT failure points. Inspect the headlight clarity and check the suspension for any signs of knocking or excessive movement during a test drive.
This 2021 Ford Ranger is a 2.0L diesel model that has covered 82,254 miles in approximately five years. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,754 per year, the vehicle has passed its last two MOT tests without any recorded defects. The recorded history shows a single MOT with minor advisories regarding brake pads and tyres in 2024.
Aggregate data from over 150,000 vehicles shows a 79.9% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures relating to headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
