2019 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · CF68 AOK

This 2019 Ford Ranger has covered 114,131 miles, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. This high mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for heavy commercial work or long-distance motorway driving, which places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to a typical domestic vehicle. The MOT history indicates a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition. While the vehicle was defect-free in early 2023, the subsequent tests have revealed a consistent pattern of wear-related issues. By 2024, the vehicle began showing signs of suspension fatigue with play in the lower ball joints and corrosion on the coil springs. By 2025, the vehicle failed its initial MOT due to multiple tyre and lighting defects, and the most recent test in late 2025 highlighted thinning brake pads and a broken brake flexi pipe mount. The recurring issues with tyres, suspension components, and braking hardware are typical of a high-mileage work vehicle that has been subjected to heavy use. The transition from a clean record to multiple advisories and a failure suggests that maintenance may be reactive rather than proactive, and the vehicle is now entering a phase where more frequent, costly repairs should be expected. Before purchasing, you must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. Specifically, check the condition of the front brake pads and the integrity of the brake flexi pipe mounts, as these were flagged as concerns in the most recent test.
