2018 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · FE18 VUB

The vehicle is currently in a good state of roadworthiness, though the MOT history indicates a history of maintenance lapses and potential mechanical risks that require immediate attention. The most recent test on 2026-01-20 was passed at 122,712 miles, but this date is significantly more than an average for a 2018 Ford Ranger, suggesting the vehicle may have been parked in a low-use area or maintained with less care than its age warrants. The maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating rather than stable, with multiple failures recorded in the 2025-2024 period. Specifically, the 2025-02-06 test revealed severe deterioration of the constant velocity boot on the offside front and rear drive shafts, which would indicate a lack of regular bushing replacement. The 2025-02-04 failure was compounded by multiple brake pad wear and severe tread issues on the nearside and offside tyres, suggesting that basic upkeep was skipped and that the tyres are approaching the legal limits. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain components immediately, as the repeated failure of the constant velocity boots and the worn tyres indicate structural integrity issues that could lead to sudden failure. Given the extensive mileage and the presence of multiple mechanical faults, a thorough inspection of the engine, exhaust emissions, and structural components is required to determine if the vehicle is safe to drive or if it requires urgent professional servicing.
