Our Verdict

This 2021 Ford Ranger presents a generally solid MOT record with no recorded advisory defects across multiple years. Buyers should note the historical test failures in 2024 and 2026, though no specific component defects were logged on those occasions.

When inspecting this Ford Ranger, verify the paperwork surrounding the January 2024 and February 2026 test failures to understand why initial tests were unsuccessful despite no advisory notes being recorded on the certificates. Check the chassis, suspension components, and underbody thoroughly, as commercial pick-ups frequently experience heavy use or towing stress. Request a complete service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements have kept pace with the vehicle's mileage accumulation.

Negotiate on price if there are any signs of commercial wear and pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, headlamps, and coil springs, which are among the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Ensure all four-wheel-drive modes, electrical accessories, and the load bed are fully operational before finalising the purchase.

Equipped with a 1996.0cc diesel engine, this Ranger falls into standard commercial vehicle tax or private-light-goods taxation classes depending on its registered use. Fuel economy will vary significantly depending on whether the vehicle is laden or towing, but typical real-world figures for this variant generally sit in the 30-35 mpg range.

Insurance falls into higher commercial or multi-use brackets typical of large pick-up trucks. Maintenance costs should account for routine commercial service intervals, tyre replacements for large-diameter wheels, and potential suspension wear. Estimated annual running costs are around £2,200-£2,800 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.

Pay close attention to the items highlighted by national model statistics: headlamps, coil springs, and tyres. Inspect the front and rear suspension for signs of heavy loading or corrosion, and check the tyres for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues or overloaded axles.

Examine the lighting units for moisture ingress or cracking, and inspect the bodywork and chassis for damage typical of utility or off-road use. Review the historical test sequence from January 2024 and February 2026 to ensure all rectification work was completed to a high standard.

This black 2021 Ford Ranger with a 1996.0cc diesel engine has covered 74,739 miles as of its March 2026 test. The vehicle has recorded five MOT tests since its first registration in February 2021, including passes in 2024, 2025, and early 2026. Two initial failures occurred in January 2024 and February 2026, though both were promptly rectified to secure passes within days.

The Ford Ranger demonstrates an aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9% nationally, with headlamps, coil springs, and tyres representing the most common failure points.
