2017 FORD RANGER3.2L Diesel

The 2017 Ford Ranger exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-03 at 62,701 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-06-28 (55,206 miles) and 2023-11-08 (52,371 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single failure on 2023-10-19 at 52,341 miles was recorded as a pass with no defects, suggesting a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the history, implying the vehicle has been well-maintained. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,967 miles annually. The 2022-08-11 test at 45,572 miles shows a 6,700-mile increase by 2023-10-19, followed by a 2,865-mile rise to 55,206 miles by 2024-06-28. These increments reflect steady, non-exceptional usage. The 8-month gap between the 2023-10-19 failure and the 2024-06-28 retest may indicate a period of inactivity or delayed servicing, but the absence of defects in subsequent tests suggests any underlying issues were resolved. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, though a visual check of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is advisable. Structural integrity should be verified, as rust or corrosion in critical areas could affect long-term reliability. The lack of exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the exhaust system’s condition, especially if the vehicle has been driven in harsh environments.
