2020 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · DX20 LGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 77,305 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This suggests a trend where consumable components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, following a previously clean record in early 2023. The Ranger has covered a significant distance for its age, averaging nearly 13,000 miles per year. There is a marked surge in usage between March 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle clocked over 25,000 miles in just 17 months. This rapid accumulation places high stress on the suspension and braking systems, which is evidenced by the thinning of the offside front inner brake pads noted as an advisory during the August 2024 test at 61,849 miles. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension and braking assembly. The failure of the offside front coil spring at 35,996 miles indicates the vehicle has been subjected to heavy loads or poor road conditions, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining springs for fractures or sagging. The recurring uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 test further points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent premature tyre degradation. The buyer should also verify the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, given the high-mileage profile and previous reports of thin pads.
