2012 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · CY62 CFL

The 2012 Ford Ranger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 76,096 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 1 April 2025 at 73,083 miles. The earlier failure on 1 April 2025 at the same mileage and with no defects listed points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was subsequently passed the same day. Across the five-year record from April 2023 to March 2026, the Ranger cleared every test with zero advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 76,096 against an estimated 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,435 miles per year. The Ranger covered 3,647 miles between April 2024 (70,436) and April 2025 (73,083), then 3,013 miles to March 2026 (76,096). This low annual use suggests light duty or extended standing periods, though the consistent yearly increments show the vehicle was not dormant for long stretches. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but a low-mileage pickup of this age may hide chassis rust from moisture exposure during standing. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for age-related perishing not captured in a pass result. The absence of recurring faults means no specific mechanical trend demands correction, yet pre-purchase scrutiny of drivetrain oils and binding calipers remains sound practice on a 2012 4x4.
