2020 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · BJ70 CVT

The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by successful retests, suggesting a trend of resolving immediate compliance issues rather than long-term preventative maintenance. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on 09 September 2025. This sequence of failing and then passing within a nine-day window indicates that specific faults were identified and rectified to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 42,557 miles over approximately six years averages to roughly 7,093 miles per year. This usage level is consistent with typical light-to-medium duty for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided do not list specific mileage increments for each individual test date, making it impossible to track exact annual mileage progression or identify periods of prolonged inactivity. The recurring pattern of failures in September 2024 and September 2025, despite no specific defect descriptions being provided in the record, necessitates a physical inspection of common wear items. A buyer should examine the condition of the braking system, specifically checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of degradation. Given the history of failures, checking the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the integrity of all lighting and electrical components is advisable to ensure no recurring issues remain unaddressed.
