2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · BK21 RYH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 28 April 2026 at 99,476 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as evidenced by the failure on 27 April 2026. The tester flagged several issues during that failed inspection, including front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, a missing front registration plate, and pitted front brake discs. While the vehicle passed the following day, the record shows that several advisories remained, specifically a non-excessive oil leak, a damaged windscreen, and an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old vehicle. Between 13 May 2024 and 28 April 2026, the vehicle covered 8,987 miles, which suggests a significant increase in annual distance compared to the previous period. The current reading of 99,476 miles averages approximately 19,895 miles per year. This high-mileage pattern places increased stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems, which aligns with the wear noted in the most recent testing cycle. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in April 2026. Although the tester deemed it non-excessive, persistent leaks can lead to larger mechanical failures if left unaddressed. The front braking system requires close scrutiny; while the pads were replaced to achieve the pass, the pitted and scored front brake discs were noted as an advisory. Continued use of worn discs will lead to premature pad failure and reduced stopping efficiency. The presence of a damaged windscreen and an inoperative registration plate lamp suggests a lack of attention to minor consumable upkeep. Beyond these items, the high annual mileage warrants a check of the suspension components and steering linkages for play or wear. Given the recent failure for worn brake pads, verifying the remaining thickness of all pads and the condition of the calipers is essential to ensure the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard.
