2019 FORD RANGER2.0L Diesel

The vehicle shows a fluctuating maintenance trend that has recently shifted from mechanical failure to consumable wear. While the 2024 test at 39,365 miles resulted in a failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring, the most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 43,663 miles passed with several advisories. These advisories specifically flag worn, pitted, or scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside front, alongside nearside front brake pads wearing thin. This indicates the vehicle is currently entering a period where braking components require attention. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,238 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 26,845 miles in May 2022 to 43,663 miles in June 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left sitting for extended periods. The 2023 advisory regarding front tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests that while the vehicle is driven moderately, basic consumable maintenance has occasionally been deferred. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system. The combination of pitted discs and thin pads noted in the June 2025 test suggests that a full replacement of both discs and pads on the front axle is likely imminent. Given the previous failure of the offside front coil spring in June 2024, a thorough check of the entire suspension assembly, including bushes and dampers, is necessary to ensure no other components have suffered similar fatigue. The record does not show any signs of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, which is positive for a vehicle of this age. However, the pattern of advisories for tyres and brakes implies the owner manages repairs reactively rather than proactively. Verifying the current depth of all tyre treads and the condition of the remaining brake life will be essential to determine the immediate cost of bringing the vehicle to a high standard of maintenance.
