2007 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · CY57 BNA

The 2007 Ford Ranger presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 September 2022 at 97,080 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemish being a failed test on 7 September 2022 at 97,073 miles that recorded no defects, followed by a clean pass just fourteen days later at 97,080 miles. This suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening fault pattern. The recorded mileage of 97,080 against a 19-year lifespan equates to a low average of roughly 5,109 miles per year. Between the 2 September 2021 test at 92,066 miles and the September 2022 tests, the vehicle covered only 5,014 miles, confirming light annual use. The clean pass in 2021 and the no-defect results in 2022 indicate the previous owner maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse three-entry record leaves long gaps unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points common to older pickups, particularly chassis rails and suspension mounting areas, as the MOT history shows no advisories that would flag early rust. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical checks despite the absence of recorded binding or wear, given the vehicle's age and the unexplained September 2022 failure. Verify the reason for that failed test via the full DVSA certificate before purchase.
