Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage for a 2022 vehicle, you should prioritise verifying the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been maintained according to Ford's schedule. Negotiate on the basis of the recent suspension work; although the ball joints were flagged as excessively worn in May 2026, you must confirm that these specific components have been replaced with high-quality parts.
Check the condition of the tyres carefully. The most recent MOT noted cuts in the tread on both rear tyres. While these were not deep enough to fail the test, they represent a potential future maintenance cost. Additionally, ask for evidence of any recent work regarding the underside, as the MOT history noted the vehicle was muddy/undercarriage was obscured during inspection, making it difficult to assess for corrosion.
As a 2.0L diesel, the Ranger is designed for efficiency in a large vehicle, but high annual mileage will impact fuel expenditure. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized pickup. Tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile, but the Euro 6 status helps with urban access charges.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the heavy-duty components used in this model. The recent MOT history shows wear in brake pads and suspension ball joints, which are standard consumable items but can be more expensive on larger vehicles. Estimated annual running costs are moderate to high depending on total mileage driven.
Pay close attention to the suspension system. The May 2026 MOT failure specifically cited excessively worn ball joints on both front lower suspension arms. Ensure these have been replaced and check for any lingering knocks or play in the steering.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly, specifically looking for the cuts in the tread mentioned in the 2026 MOT records on the nearside and offside rear tyres. Furthermore, because the MOT inspector noted the underside was muddy, it is difficult to visually confirm the state of the chassis; if possible, inspect the vehicle when clean to check for any signs of structural wear or damage to the under trays and side steps.
This 2022 Ford Ranger has covered 93,512 miles in approximately four years, which is significantly higher than the model average. While it passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, the history shows a failure just three days prior due to worn ball joints and tyre issues. The records also indicate a history of thinning brake pads and recurring advisories regarding tyre cuts.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2022 model year cars.
- Common-Rail Fuel Injector Failure and RecallSerious
Both early 2.2 and 3.2 Duratorq diesels and early 2.0 EcoBlue engines suffer from injector failure. In 2015, Ford recalled nearly 14,000 UK Rangers for faulty injector batches that caused engines to cut out without warning while driving. Failed injectors suffer from high leak-back rates or internal nozzle jamming, leading to cylinder bore wash, uneven fueling, violent knocking, and melted pistons.
- Manual and Automatic Transmission Shudder and Shift FaultsModerate
Manual T6 Rangers frequently suffer from stiff third-gear selection, worn synchromesh rings, and dual-mass flywheel rattle under heavy towing. Automatic variants (6R80 6-speed and later 10R80 10-speed) can exhibit harsh low-speed shifting, gear slip flare, and torque converter shudder. In addition, an official recall addressed gearshift selector cables that could unclip and foul the rear driveshaft.
- Chassis Box Section Corrosion and Rear Spring Hanger RotSerious
The T6 Ranger features a fully boxed steel ladder chassis that readily traps road salt, farm slurry, and abrasive mud washed into internal frame openings. Without regular high-pressure flushing and cavity rustproofing, the metal corrodes from the inside out. Structural rot attacks the rear spring hanger brackets, spare wheel cross-member, and chassis rails around the fuel tank, causing catastrophic MOT structural failure.
