2016 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · AF66 XHL

The 2016 Ford Ranger presents as roadworthy on the strength of its most recent test. The tester passed it with no defects on 28 April 2025 at 115,851 miles. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the recorded history, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures in 2022 and 2023 that carried no listed defects. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,585 miles per year. The odometer moved from 83,335 miles on 9 November 2022 to 104,509 miles by 22 November 2023, a gain of over 21,000 miles in twelve months that points to a period of heavier use. A shorter gap shows between the 13 November 2023 failure at 104,002 miles and the passing retest nine days later at 104,509 miles. The DVSA data itself is sparse, with no advisories or component faults logged on any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension bushes given the Ranger's age and the off-road bias of the model. The twin failures on 9 November 2022 and 13 November 2023 with zero defects recorded suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, but they warrant a check of the V5C and test certificates. Corrosion on structural members, brake discs, and coil springs should be examined closely despite the clean record. The lack of advisories across five tests implies either diligent upkeep or limited scrutiny, so a pre-purchase check of the drivetrain and binding calipers remains prudent before completion.
