Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent sig
When inspecting this specific Ranger, your primary focus should be the recent braking system failure. Ensure that the leaking rear brake pipe identified in August 2026 has been replaced with high-quality components and that the brake performance issues have been fully rectified. Ask for a formal invoice detailing the work carried out to address the failure recorded at 113,168 miles.
Additionally, investigate the oil leak noted at the 113,191-mile mark. While the MOT tester noted it was 'not excessive', you should check for signs of seepage around the engine seals or sump. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, checking the condition of common wear items like tyres and headlamps—which are frequent failure points for this model aggregate—is also highly recommended.
As a 2953cc diesel, this Ranger will likely fall into a higher tax band and insurance group compared to smaller pickups. Fuel economy will be heavily dependent on load and driving style, but buyers should expect typical heavy-duty diesel consumption.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and size often include more expensive components like tyres and brake systems. Given the recent brake pipe failure, budget for potential ongoing maintenance of the hydraulic braking system and engine seals. Estimated annual running costs are typically higher for this class of vehicle.
Prioritise a close inspection of the braking system. Because the vehicle failed on a leaking rear brake pipe and 'brake performance unable to be tested' in August 2026, you must verify that the entire hydraulic circuit is secure and that the brakes respond correctly under pressure.
Secondly, inspect the engine bay for the oil leak mentioned in the August 2026 MOT. Look for wetness around the gasket areas or the sump. Finally, check the headlights and tyres, as these are statistically the most common failure reasons for the Ford Ranger model aggregate, ensuring this specific blue unit does not fall into those common patterns.
This 2009 Ford Ranger, finished in blue with a 2.9L diesel engine, has covered 113,191 miles as of August 2026. While it enjoyed three consecutive years of clean MOT results between 2023 and 2025, the most recent test in August 2026 resulted in a failure due to a leaking rear brake pipe and brake performance issues. An oil leak was also noted during the most recent pass.
The Ford Ranger model aggregate shows an 80.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
