2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · CA11 MBX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant lapse in recent testing. The last recorded MOT was conducted in September 2021 at 60,189 miles, resulting in a pass after an initial failure for an incorrect nearside front position lamp. Since five years have passed since this inspection, the vehicle's current roadworthiness status is unverified and the mechanical integrity of all components cannot be guaranteed without a fresh technical assessment. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old Ranger, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 9,250 miles between the 2018 and 2019 tests, and another 18,614 miles between 2019 and 2021. This suggests the vehicle experienced light use or sat stationary for extended periods. Low-mileage operation often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion, which are not reflected in the odometer reading. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the areas flagged during the 2017 test at 24,666 miles, specifically the oil leaks from the gearbox bellhousing and the rear axle. While these were not mentioned in later tests, fluid leaks in older vehicles often persist or worsen over time. Given the long interval since the last MOT, the buyer should also inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, check the brake system for seized calipers or pitting, and verify the age of the tyres, as low mileage does not prevent age-related dry rot.
