2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · VO15 ADU

The 2015 Ford Ranger’s most recent MOT on 2023-07-07 at 166,561 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2023-07-05 at 166,554 miles resulted in a fail without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or minor unresolved faults. No defects were noted in earlier tests, including the 2022-06-29 pass at 162,334 miles and the 2020-12-07 pass at 150,875 miles. The absence of recorded faults in multiple tests indicates the vehicle has met legal standards, but the lack of recent inspections (over three years since the last MOT) raises concerns about unmonitored wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 166,561 miles over 11 years equates to 15,142 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. A significant jump from 150,875 miles (2020) to 162,334 miles (2022) suggests accelerated wear, while the 4,227-mile increase between 2022 and 2023 implies reduced usage or infrequent driving. This pattern may indicate periods of inactivity, which can exacerbate issues like brake corrosion or suspension stiffness. The sparse data from 2020 to 2022, with no defects recorded, does not confirm proactive maintenance, leaving potential risks unaddressed. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage and age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s frequent use and possible exposure to moisture. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as corrosion risks increase with age. While MOT records show no critical failures, the lack of recent tests and high annual mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
