2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · CJ21 VSP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a clean pass from its most recent inspection on 30 January 2026 at 54,427 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical defects identified in the previous year have been addressed. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests that the owner responded proactively to the braking issues flagged in 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. A gap of 412 miles was recorded between the August 2024 test and the January 2026 test, indicating regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to standard operating cycles, which generally helps mitigate the risk of seized components or internal fluid degradation often seen in lower-mileage vehicles. A buyer should specifically verify the front braking system to ensure the repairs made after August 2024 were completed professionally. The previous failure noted both the nearside and offside front pads along with pitted and scored brake discs. While these were likely replaced, a physical inspection should check for any uneven pad wear or caliper binding that might have caused the initial disc scoring. Given the Ranger's age and usage, a check of the suspension bushes and underbody corrosion is also appropriate, though these were not specifically highlighted in the recent MOT history.
