2020 Ford Ranger Thunder Ecoblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · AF70 NTA

The vehicle failed its MOT on 2026-05-29 due to a fractured offside front coil spring, indicating a worsening trend in structural integrity despite passing on 2026-06-04 with only a minor issue regarding the seat belt webbing. This recent failure highlights a significant mechanical concern that requires immediate attention. The vehicle's mileage of 50,262 miles over six years translates to approximately 8,377 miles annually, which is within the expected range for its age. Notably, there is a gap between the 2024-06-05 test at 36,639 miles and the 2025-05-29 test at 43,344 miles, suggesting a period of reduced usage or possible storage. The subsequent tests in 2026 indicate the vehicle has been driven regularly since then. A potential buyer should inspect the front suspension closely, particularly the offside front coil spring, for signs of further damage or wear. Additionally, the seat belt webbing should be checked for any additional fraying or damage. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it is advisable to also examine the brakes, tyres, and exhaust system for any signs of wear or malfunction. Structural rust, especially around the chassis and suspension mounts, should also be assessed to ensure no underlying issues exist.
