2018 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · BN18 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 August 2025 at 104,499 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test four days earlier on 8 August 2025, the record does not list specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative or quickly rectified issue. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between 30 August 2023 and 15 August 2024, where the odometer rose from 76,656 to 91,012 miles. A further 13,487 miles were covered in the year leading up to the August 2025 test. This consistent high-mileage pattern indicates the vehicle has been used heavily, likely for commercial purposes or long-distance commuting. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage Ford Ranger. There are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or chassis corrosion across five tests dating back to April 2023. Such a void of minor defects on a vehicle with over 100,000 miles is atypical and suggests either a very rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common high-mileage wear points that MOTs often overlook. Check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the drivetrain components. Given the age and usage, a thorough inspection for structural rust on the chassis rails and leaf springs is essential, as these are critical failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in previous tests.
