2017 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · BD17 XSH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 17 July 2025 at 94,942 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs, as the vehicle failed the test just three miles prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. This defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass, suggesting the owner responds to known safety-critical failures once identified by the tester. The mileage profile is consistent with typical light-to-medium usage, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Data shows steady accumulation between 70,421 miles in April 2022 and 86,574 miles in July 2024. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brakes or internal fluid degradation. The consistent interval suggests the vehicle has been used regularly throughout its life, which generally results in predictable wear patterns on components like rubber hoses and suspension artwork. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension and braking system given the recorded history. The July 2024 test at 86,574 miles flagged a slightly twisted offside front brake hose, which necessitates a check for rubber chafing or internal collapse that could lead to pressure loss. Given the broken coil spring in the 2025 test, the buyer should examine the remaining springs for signs of heavy corrosion or stress fractures, as these components often fail in pairs. While no structural corrosion has been noted, the age and age of the Ranger require a thorough check for rust on the chassis andion mounting points.
