2017 FORD RANGER3.2L DIESEL

The 2017 Ford Ranger has shown a mixed maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT passed on January 12, 2026, at 51,832 miles, despite a nearside front oil leak that was not considered excessive. However, the failure on December 23, 2025, due to an offside rear service brake fluctuation indicates a need for attention to the braking system. The vehicle's mileage of 51,832 miles over approximately nine years equates to around 5,759 miles annually, which is relatively low. This suggests the vehicle may have been lightly used or had extended periods of non-use, which could explain the absence of significant wear on consumables and major mechanical components. Notably, there is a gap of nearly 16 months between the failed MOT in December 2025 and the passing test in January 2026, indicating a period where the issue was likely addressed. A potential buyer should inspect the rear brake system closely, particularly the offside rear brake pads and calipers, given the recent failure. Additionally, the nearside front oil leak should be investigated to determine the source and ensure it does not indicate a more serious underlying issue. The low mileage suggests minimal wear on other components, but it is advisable to check the suspension bushes, steering components, and exhaust system for any signs of premature wear or corrosion, as these areas can degrade over time even with low mileage.
