2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · CY70 HSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. The most recent test in January 2026 at 95,059 miles passed, yet the tester flagged both rear tyres as being near the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where front inner tyres also showed similar wear, suggesting the owner only replaces consumables once they approach failure thresholds. This Ford Ranger has covered a significant distance for its five years, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 71,284 miles and January 2025 at 81,662 miles, the vehicle clocked over 10,000 miles in twelve months. This high rate of usage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistent mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle is used for heavy commercial or motorway duties, which accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes and braking hardware. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, specifically addressing the 2024 advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While this specific fault did not reappear in subsequent tests, high-mileage Rangers often suffer from perished bushings and ball joints. The central front oil leak noted in 2024 also requires a physical inspection to ensure it has not worsened into a significant seep, as the tester previously noted it was not excessive but present on an aging engine. The recurring uneven tyre wear across all four corners over different years indicates potential wheel alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. The buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of thinning or binding. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the clutch or gearbox and any under chassis corrosion is essential to ensure the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress.
