2015 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · BA15 AON

The vehicle shows a history of significant mechanical issues, though the most recent MOT from March 2026 at 87,303 miles indicates a period of relative stability. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the tester flagged an offside rear tyre with cracking or perishing and thin offside front brake pads. This suggests that while major failures have been addressed, the vehicle is currently entering a phase of routine consumable replacement. The maintenance trend has fluctuated significantly over the years, moving from severe structural and braking failures to more standard wear-and-tear items. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 48,173 in July 2018 to 87,303 in March 2026. There are no obvious signs of long-term stagnation or excessive heavy-duty use, though the frequency of failures suggests that maintenance often occurred reactively following an MOT failure rather than through proactive servicing. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and underside. The record shows a recurring pattern of excessive corrosion on brake pipes, specifically noted in the November 2023 test at 76,594 miles and the February 2021 test at 65,513 miles. The presence of such widespread corrosion in the past necessitates a close examination of the brake lines, connections, and the condition of the chassis for any signs of structural degradation. Suspension and exhaust components also warrant scrutiny. The vehicle has experienced multiple failures involving fractured coil springs and leaf springs, most recently in April 2025 at 83,044 miles. Additionally, major exhaust leaks have been flagged in both 2022 and 2025. Given the history of electronic faults involving the ABS and stability control lamps in 2018 and 2022, ensuring these systems are fully operational and free of warning lights is essential before purchase.
