2010 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · AF60 RWW

The 2010 Ford Ranger’s most recent MOT test on 2022-09-28 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean history over the past two tests suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the final inspection occurred over three years ago—well beyond the standard 12-month validity period. Without any repeat failures or advisories, there’s no evidence of chronic mechanical issues, but the lack of recent testing introduces uncertainty about current wear on high-mileage components. Buyers should prioritise verifying whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing or repairs since the last MOT. The recorded mileage of 167,524 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 10,470 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage for its age. There are no gaps in the MOT record to suggest prolonged neglect, nor any rapid spikes in mileage that might indicate intensive use. However, the absence of service records beyond the MOT history means critical intervals for suspension bushes, drive shafts, and differential fluid changes cannot be confirmed. The vehicle’s age and mileage place it firmly in the high-wear category, where consumables like tyres, brakes, and wiper blades will require closer scrutiny. Given the lack of advisories in the MOT history, there’s no direct evidence of recurring faults, but the vehicle’s age demands a thorough inspection of suspension integrity—particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. Binding brake calipers or unevenly worn discs, while not flagged in past tests, could develop due to prolonged use, so hydraulic system condition and pad thickness should be checked. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, is another critical area; rust penetration can compromise structural integrity without obvious external signs. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive corrosion, as catalytic converter failure is a common late-stage issue in diesel models of this era.
