2019 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · D1 WND

The 2019 Ford Ranger presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 29,863 miles on 18 December 2025 with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry available, dated roughly six and a half months before today's date of 17 June 2026, meaning the vehicle is currently approaching its next annual test due around mid-December 2026. The trajectory from flagged tyre wear in 2024 to a fully clear pass in 2025 suggests the previous owner addressed consumable items promptly, and no recurring mechanical or structural faults have persisted across consecutive tests. The mileage profile tells a clear story of light use. Across roughly seven years the vehicle has covered 29,863 miles, averaging approximately 4,266 miles per year, well below the UK typical annual figure of around 8,000 to 12,000 miles. The progression is steady and consistent: 14,284 miles in December 2022, 20,114 miles by December 2023, 24,733 miles by December 2024, and 29,863 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 5,800 miles added per year in the most recent three years, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The low annual accumulation implies reduced wear on drivetrain, braking, and suspension components relative to the vehicle's age, though a buyer should remain alert to the possibility of long stationary periods, which can cause flat-spotting on tyres, brake surface corrosion, and deterioration of rubber bushes and seals. Two specific areas warrant close physical inspection. First, the front suspension. The 2022 failure at 14,283 miles for a fractured or broken offside front coil spring is a significant structural defect that was clearly rectified, as no further suspension faults appear in subsequent tests. A buyer should inspect both front coil springs for any signs of cracking, sag, or corrosion, and check the condition of front suspension bushes, drop links, and dampers for play or oil weeping. Second, the front tyres. The 2024 test at 24,733 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, indicating either aggressive cornering, a tracking or alignment issue, or simply deferred replacement. Although the 2025 test recorded no tyre defects, a buyer should verify the current tyre condition, tread depth across the full width of each tyre, and whether the wheel alignment has been corrected to prevent uneven wear from recurring. Finally, the repeated tester notes regarding engine covers, under trays, and sill covers limiting inspection access are worth noting. These obstacles prevented a full underbody examination across multiple tests, meaning corrosion, fluid leaks, or structural deterioration beneath the vehicle and along the sills may not have been formally assessed. A buyer should arrange a physical underbody inspection, paying particular attention to the sills, chassis rails, brake lines, and exhaust system for signs of corrosion or damage that the MOT process could not fully evaluate.
