2018 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · CT68 FWV

The 2018 Ford Ranger presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 53,381 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the first entry in the history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across any recorded test, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening or recurring defect trends. Annual mileage has remained low for a pickup of this type. The record shows 18,236 miles at the 20 November 2021 test, rising to 22,178 by 22 November 2022, 29,800 by 17 November 2023, 38,830 by 5 November 2024, and 53,381 by 10 November 2025. That equates to roughly 6,600 miles per year, well below typical commercial use. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the chassis and load bed. Ranger models of this generation are prone to chassis rail corrosion and suspension bush degradation even when MOT testers log no advisories. The low annual mileage implies longer standing periods, which accelerates underbody rust and permits brake caliper seizure if the vehicle sat unused. Check the front coil springs, steering ball joints, and rear leaf spring mounts for fatigue or corrosion. Verify the brake discs and calipers are free from binding after the long idle stretches implied by the mileage. The official record shows no fault, but the absence of advisories does not certify structural integrity beyond the test date.
