2013 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4X4 Tdci 3.2L Heavy oil · YT13 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement in recent years. The most recent test conducted on 25 May 2023 at 88,348 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle met all standards at that time. This follows a clean pass in March 2022, which corrected a minor failure from February of that year. The data suggests the owner is proactive in addressing issues before they escalate into recurring failures. At 88,348 miles over 13 years, the Ranger has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in the records between April 2019 and February 2022, during which the vehicle covered roughly 14,000 miles. This lower rate of use suggests periods of standing or light duty, which often preserves drivetrain and interior components. However, the low mileage relative to the age can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system, as the 2016 test flagged imbalanced front brakes and low pads. While the later tests show no defects, a buyer should check for caliper sticking or uneven disc wear that may stem from previous issues. Given the vehicle's age and type, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is essential, as MOT tests only identify significant corrosion on the frame rails and suspension members. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as the low mileage may not have prevented these materials from drying out over the decade.
