2020 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · PW20 DAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recurring neglect regarding wheel geometry and consumable replacement. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 86,402 miles flagged a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with uneven wear across the rear axle. This follows similar advisories from the 2024 test where both rear tyres were noted as wearing on the inner edges, suggesting a consistent alignment or suspension issue that previous owners have failed to rectify. The mileage pattern reflects high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per annum. Between June 2023 at 44,052 miles and July 2024 at 67,336 miles, the Ranger covered over 23,000 miles in justization months. This rapid accumulation of nearly 1,800 miles per month during that period confirms the vehicle was likely used for long-distance commercial work, which places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically checking wisharm bushes, tie rod ends, and artwork springs for signs of premature wear. The repeated reports of inner-edge tyre wear across multiple years point to a persistent misalignment or a worn component that will continue to artwork new tyres rapidly. Furthermore, the 2023 report regarding pitted and scored front brake discs indicates the braking system has been exposed to moisture or heavy use, necessitating a physical check of the current thickness and surface condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing their minimum limit.
