2017 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · FH17 UOT

The 2017 Ford Ranger presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 2 January 2026 at 150,005 miles. The DVSA entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects logged, which indicates an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Prior tests on 6 January 2025 at 136,143 miles, 23 November 2023 at 122,450 miles, and 2 November 2022 at 110,204 miles all passed with no advisories, confirming a consistent absence of recorded defects across the recent history. The odometer reads 150,005 miles against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 16,667 miles per year and placing this pickup firmly in high-use territory for its age. Mileage advanced from 110,204 in November 2022 to 122,450 by November 2023, then to 136,143 by January 2025, and reached 150,005 by January 2026. The step between the 2023 and 2025 tests spans fourteen months yet only 13,693 miles, while the final year added 13,862 miles, showing steady rather than sporadic accumulation with no standing periods implied. The MOT record carries no flagged items across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, so no recurring mechanical trend emerges from the data. A clean advisory sheet over four consecutive tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination or the vehicle saw milder duty than the mileage implies. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis rails, subframe mounts, and suspension linkages given the Ranger's age and high annual mileage, as MOT passes without advisories do not capture incipient rust or bush fatigue. Verify the 2 January 2026 failure reason with DVLA paperwork, and confirm brake pad depths and tyre sidewall condition despite the absence of recorded defects.
