2019 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · FN19 AFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 24 December 2025 at 103,371 miles, which recorded no defects. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent failures, the maintenance trend appears to be resolving. The tester identified a fractured nearside front coil spring and a dangerous cut in the offside rear tyre during the failed test on 07 April 2025 at 102,202 miles, but these issues were rectified for the subsequent pass. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2019 vehicle, averaging approximately 14,767 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between April 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer increased from 83,237 to 102,202 miles, representing nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. This rapid increase suggests heavy or consistent commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear of suspension components, braking systems, and drivetrain elements. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The 2025 failure involving a fractured nearside front coil spring indicates that the suspension is under significant stress. Although the most recent test was clean, the high mileage and previous spring failure warrant a close check of all coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. The history also highlights a pattern of tyre management issues. The records from March 2022 showed both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the April 2025 failure involved a tyre with a cut reaching the cords. These recurring issues suggest that tyre replacement may have been reactive rather than proactive. I recommend checking the current tread depth and looking for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment problems or worn steering components.
