2016 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · AX16 CRF

The vehicle currently presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of minor mechanical issues. The most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 92,157 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in July 2025, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last twelve months. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 30,761 miles in June 2019 to the current 92,157 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial overloading. The progression from 41,343 miles in 2020 to 79,757 miles in 2024 shows a predictable and manageable wear pattern. Historical data reveals specific areas of concern that required attention in the past. The tester flagged a fractured offside front coil spring during the July 2024 test, though this was rectified for the subsequent pass. Earlier records from June 2022 noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes. While these issues were resolved, they highlight a potential susceptibility to corrosion in the braking system. A buyer should inspect the condition of all brake lines and connections to ensure no further degradation is occurring. The 2020 inspection highlighted issues with tyre wear and an inoperative registration plate lamp, suggesting occasional lapses in basic consumable upkeep. Given the previous findings regarding brake pipe corrosion and suspension component failure, a physical inspection of the chassis, suspension bushes, and underside for signs of rust or weeping components is advisable. Checking the remaining tread depth and alignment on all tyres will also help confirm that the uneven wearing noted in 2020 has been fully addressed.
