Our Verdict
This is a relatively low-risk option for a 2022 Ford Ranger, provided you budget for immediate tyre replacement. The vehicle has a very clean MOT history with only one minor recorded issue.
When inspecting this specific Ranger, your primary focus should be on the tyres. The most recent MOT history explicitly flagged a nearside front tyre as being worn on the edge and close to the legal limit. You should check the condition of all four tyres to see if this is an isolated issue or a sign of uneven tread wear across the axle.
Given the high mileage relative to its age, ask for evidence of regular servicing. While the MOT history doesn't confirm maintenance standards, a vehicle covering over 14,000 miles a year requires consistent oil and filter changes to protect the 1996cc diesel engine. Check the service book for stamps that align with the mileage increments.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this Ranger is designed for efficiency in a large pickup, though running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but the Euro 6 status ensures it remains compliant with most UK Clean Air Zones.
Maintenance costs for this model typically include periodic tyre replacements and brake servicing. Given the recent MOT advisory regarding tyre wear, expect to factor in the cost of at least one new tyre immediately. Annual running costs will be influenced by the insurance group and the specific tax band for this 2022 registration.
Beyond the specific nearside front tyre issue noted in the February 2026 MOT, inspect the suspension components. While this vehicle has no recorded failures for coil springs, it is a top failure reason for this model aggregate data, so check for any knocks or uneven ride height.
Also, check the headlamps. Although this vehicle has passed its MOT, headlamp failures are a common issue for the Ford Ranger model type. Ensure both beams are bright and correctly aligned. Finally, check the tread pattern on all tyres to ensure there isn't a recurring 'worn on edge' pattern, which could indicate an alignment issue.
Registered in September 2022, this black 2.0L diesel Ford Ranger has covered 57,250 miles in approximately four years. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,711 miles per year, suggesting it has likely been used for heavy-duty or long-distance work. The single MOT record from February 2026 shows a pass, though it noted a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.9% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
