2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · BJ67 VFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical and suspension issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 69,469 miles resulted in a failure due to a defective side repeater and corrosion on both front coil springs. While it passed after repairs, the appearance of a slight oil leak and structural corrosion on the suspension components indicates the vehicle is beginning to show age-related wear that was not present in the previous year. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 37,747 miles and the 2024 test at 60,316 miles, the Ranger covered over 22,000 miles, showing steady usage. The jump of 9,153 miles between November 2024 and November 2025 suggests a slight increase in annual usage, which likely correlates with the emergence of the spring andrelated faults noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the corrosion on the coil springs, as both sides were flagged simultaneously. The slight oil leak identified in November 2025 requires a thorough investigation to determine if it originates from a minor seal weeping or a more significant engine component that could worsen rapidly. Additionally, the 2022 record of uneven inner tyre wear suggests potential history of alignment issues or worn bushes, which should be verified to ensure the current tyres are not experiencing premature degradation.
