2018 FORD RANGER3.2L Diesel

This Ford Ranger is in excellent mechanical standing based on its MOT history, showing a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 41,624 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,203 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, though there was a significant increase between 2 January 2025 at 33,263 miles and the most recent test in January 2026. The only anomaly in the record occurred on 3 January 2023 at 18,377 miles, where the vehicle failed before passing nine days later. The lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative or easily rectifiable issue rather than a major mechanical breakdown. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, there are no recurring faults such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues to flag. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished tyre rubber or seizing brake calipers due to inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, which is common for this model regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads for age-related degradation rather than wear. Ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals, as low-mileage vehicles often skip scheduled services. Given the lack of advisories, the vehicle appears well-maintained, provided the service history aligns with these clean test results.
