2018 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · AF68 WEJ

The 2018 Ford Ranger presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 August 2025 at 67,133 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the visible history, with every annual test from July 2023 onward showing clean results aside from two anomalous failures in August 2025 that carry no listed defects. Those back-to-back failures at 67,124 and 67,131 miles on 13 and 14 August 2025, followed by a pass two days later, suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The Ranger covered 48,446 miles by 24 July 2023, rose to 56,223 miles at the 5 August 2024 test, and reached 67,133 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 8,400 miles per year, indicating steady light-commercial use with no sudden accumulation spikes or prolonged dormant periods visible in the record. The sparse but clean history gives little cause for concern on wear-rate grounds. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of core structural and mechanical items. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion appear in the supplied record, yet the Ranger's ladder-frame chassis and rear leaf springs are prone to underbody rust in UK conditions. The tester logged no emissions or binding caliper faults, but the twin failures without recorded defects warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA entry. Given the absent advisory data, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and drivetrain oil leaks around the diesel engine and transfer box. The previous owner maintained the vehicle to a passable standard across three consecutive years. Verify the August 2025 anomaly with the issuing garage before purchase.
