2007 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · CV07 OCZ

The most recent MOT test took place on 10 August 2023 at 181,425 miles and returned a fail with no defects recorded by the tester. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 9 March 2022 at 175,532 miles after a fail on 4 March 2022 at 175,522 miles, also with no defects logged. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving because the records contain no advisories or listed faults. The vehicle has not been tested since August 2023, leaving it unroadworthy and untaxed if still untested as of July 2026. The Ranger shows roughly 5,893 miles added between March 2022 and August 2023, a low annual rate near 3,900 miles that sits below the lifetime average of about 9,549 miles per year. Mileage stood at 181,425 in the final test, consistent with typical use for a 2007 model. The three-year gap from the last test to now means wear on consumables and structure is undocumented. Sparse records with zero advisories across all entries give no signal of neglect nor confirmation of care. A buyer must commission a fresh MOT and full inspection before any purchase. The absent defect data means the tester logged nothing on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or chassis corrosion. Ford Rangers of this era commonly suffer structural rust on chassis rails and suspension mounts. Examine the underbody, brake lines, and drivetrain for corrosion and leaks. Verify the reason for the two 2022 fails and the 2023 fail, since no defects were recorded in the supplied data. Confirm with DVSA the actual failure items. Check tyre tread, wiper operation, and exhaust emissions in person given the lapse since testing.
