FORD RANGER2022 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 07 January 2026 at 34,245 miles resulted in a pass with only a single minor advisory regarding the offside front shock absorber. This light misting indicates the beginning of a seal failure rather than an immediate mechanical collapse, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained relative to its previous test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 26,654 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered 7,591 miles in just thirteen months. This reflects regular, moderate usage, and the lack of recorded defects in the late 2024 test indicates that the drivetrain and structural components have performed well under these operating conditions. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front suspension during a physical viewing to determine if the oil mist has progressed to a significant leak. While a minor advisory is not a failure, shock absorbers will eventually require replacement to maintain handling stability. Given the clean history regarding structural corrosion and brake components, the focus should remain on monitoring the suspension bushings and ensuring no further leaks are developing as the mileage continues to climb.
