Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the high mileage of 106,195 miles, you should prioritise checking the full service history to ensure oil changes and mechanical maintenance have been kept up to date. Negotiate based on the mileage, as this vehicle has been driven much more than the typical Ford Ranger in this dataset.
When viewing the vehicle, specifically inspect the rear suspension and leaf springs to ensure the previous fracture was professionally repaired and that no other cracks or signs of fatigue are present. Check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are common failure points for this model type across the wider dataset.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy, which typically varies depending on load and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 Ranger are generally moderate to high, reflecting its utility and engine size.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage should be budgeted for more frequently, particularly regarding suspension, braking systems, and diesel engine components. Expect an annual running cost that accounts for higher-than-average wear and tear due to the high mileage.
A primary focus should be the rear suspension assembly. The MOT history explicitly records a failure for a fractured offside rear leaf spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)), so you must verify that the replacement was of high quality and that the surrounding chassis and mounting points show no signs of stress or corrosion.
Additionally, pay close attention to the headlamps and tyres. While not noted as failures on this specific vehicle, they are identified as top MOT failure reasons for this model aggregate, making them essential areas for a pre-purchase inspection.
This 2016 black Ford Ranger features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 106,195 miles as of its last recorded MOT in early 2022. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,754 miles per year, indicating heavy usage. While the most recent test was a pass with no defects, the history includes a failure due to a fractured offside rear leaf spring.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with common issues involving headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
