2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · EX65 GMG

This 2015 Ford Ranger presents a complex picture of very low mileage paired with intermittent but serious mechanical defects. With an average of roughly 5,291 miles per year, the vehicle has seen very light use. However, the MOT history suggests that this low mileage has not prevented the onset of age-related wear or sudden component failure. The most recent MOT in December 2025 shows a pass, but this came just ten days after a failed test at nearly the same mileage. That failed test identified specific defects: an engine management light that was inoperative and an ABS warning lamp indicating a fault. While these issues were rectified quickly, the occurrence of multiple electrical warning faults is a significant reliability concern. A similar pattern of sudden failure appeared in late 2024. The vehicle failed its test due to a fractured offside front coil spring, a serious safety defect, yet passed four days later following repair. The trend indicates a vehicle that generally runs well between inspections but is prone to developing safety-critical defects like broken suspension parts or electrical issues as the test date approaches. The condition trend appears to be worsening regarding component integrity.
