2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · AF71 MWU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a passing MOT test on 19 December 2025. However, the maintenance history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day during the consecutive annual tests in December 2024 and December 2025. While the record does not list specific defect codes for these failures, the recurring trend suggests that mechanical or safety issues are addressed only immediately upon testing failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At a recorded mileage of 35,281 miles, the Ranger has averaged approximately 7,056 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. This reflects typical usage levels for a commercial vehicle, suggesting the components have not been subjected to high-mileage stress. The data provided is consistent in timing, with tests occurring at regular annual intervals, which provides a clear timeline of the vehicle's operational history despite the lack of detailed advisory notes in the provided record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the specific causes of the failures in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Since the record fails to detail the technical nature of the faults, it is necessary to check the condition of suspension bushes, brake components, and exhaust systems for signs of wear or leakage. Focus should also be placed on the structural integrity of the chassis to ensure that the repeated failures were not related to corrosion or mounting points that could worsen over time. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
