2013 FORD RANGER2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a successful MOT test on 12 May 2025 at 100,466 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a period of instability during 2024. The transition from multiple failures in April and May 2024 to a clean pass in 2025 suggests that specific issues were identified and rectified, indicating an improving state of repair after a period of non-compliance. At 100,466 miles over 13 years, this Ford Ranger has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a concentrated cluster of activity between April 2024 and May 2025, where the vehicle covered only 1,935 miles across three test attempts. This low mileage accumulation over that year suggests the vehicle may have been used sporadically or sat for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or the degradation of rubber components despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas that likely caused the 2024 failures, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical reasons for those declines. Given the age and type of vehicle, priority should be placed on checking the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, particularly where moisture is common. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished and check the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear, as these are frequent points of failure on older pickups. The lack of advisories in the 2025 test suggests the vehicle is currently in good order, but the previous history of failures necessitates a close look at the repairs performed.
