2009 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · CY09 EXJ

The Ford Ranger presents a broadly roadworthy status as of the most recent test. The February 2023 examination at 95,410 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The prior February 2022 test at 89,788 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or escalating mechanical concerns between the two annual checks. The recorded mileage sits at 95,410 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year. This is low for a 17-year-old pickup and suggests light duty or extended periods off the road. Between February 2022 and February 2023 the vehicle covered only 5,622 miles. The DVSA data shows a same-day fail and pass on 14 February 2023 at 95,409 and 95,410 miles respectively, with no defects listed on either entry, which points to an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean test outcomes, no recurring wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged across the record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as the Ranger's age and possible standing periods leave it exposed to underbody rust unseen by the MOT lane. Verify the driveline and coil springs for deterioration linked to low-use storage. The sparse history offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep or worsening faults. Treat the low mileage as a cue to check for perished seals and binding calipers from inactivity rather than high-load fatigue.
