2012 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · CV62 RZX

The 2012 Ford Ranger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 150,815 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 7 October 2024 at 142,125 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a fail on 24 September 2024 at 141,663 miles, yet the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage tracks typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. The Ranger covered roughly 10,772 miles per year, rising from 116,874 miles at the 24 August 2022 test to 126,468 miles by 25 September 2023, then 142,125 miles by October 2024 and 150,815 miles by October 2025. The gap between the September 2024 fail and the October 2024 pass covers only 462 miles, suggesting a swift re-test. No rapid accumulation or long dormant periods appear in the data, and the clean advisories across all tests imply previous owners kept consumables and structure within limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of chassis corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the Ranger's age and 150,000-mile tally. The MOT record flags no outstanding advisories, but the absence of noted wear does not certify component life. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware warrant a cold-start examination. Given the sparse but clean history, treat the truck as mechanically sound on paper with ordinary wear expected for the mileage. Verify the September 2024 fail reason at point of sale, as DVSA shows no defect line yet a rejection occurred.
