2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · DX22 LOA

A clean record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 16 March 2026 showing no major mechanical failures or structural defects. The testing history indicates a stable trend of compliance, moving from a clean result in March 2025 to the current status, though a single advisory was noted during the latest inspection. This suggests that while the primary mechanical systems have met the required standards, there is a minor issue regarding interior safety equipment that requires attention. The vehicle has covered 47,389 miles over approximately four years, representing an average annual accumulation of roughly 11,847 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving cycles for a vehicle of this age and does not suggest either excessive heavy-duty commercial use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this level of mileage implies that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension components are likely mid-way through their service life, but the consistent annual mileage suggests a predictable rate of wear across the drivetrain and chassis. The primary concern identified in the latest DVSA record is an advisory for the offside rear seat belt webbing, which was noted as being slightly damaged or frayed. While this is not a mechanical failure of the vehicle's running gear, it is a safety-related advisory that should be addressed. During a physical inspection, you should examine the entire length of the seat belt webbing for any further signs of thinning, tearing, or fraying, and ensure the retractor mechanism operates smoothly without catching. Beyond the specific advisory regarding the seat belt, the absence of recorded defects in the previous year and the current test suggests no immediate issues with the braking system, suspension linkages, or exhaust emissions. However, given the mileage, a test drive should be used to verify that there are no unexpected noises from the suspension bushes or coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, and that the braking performance remains consistent without any pedal judder or pulling to one side.
