Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The latest test on 26 August 2025 at 92,561 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the owner has addressed previous mechanical deficiencies. While the history shows a pattern of wear-related failures, the recent clean report suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,250 miles per year. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 10,472 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the records or erratic spikes that would suggest long periods of neglect or extreme strain. The recorded 92,561 miles place the Ranger at a stage where heavy-duty components begin to require more frequent inspection intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, given the fractured offside coil spring recorded in the 2022 failure at 65,175 miles. Although this was rectified, the recurring mention of worn front tyres in 2022 and thin front brake pads in 2024 at 82,089 miles indicates that the front-end components bear the brunt of the wear. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues, and inspect the remaining life of the brake discs to ensure no immediate high-mileage service is required.
