2002 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · FP52 YZF

The Ford Ranger presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 12 December 2025 test at 92,456 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with passes logged at every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers at any stage. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 24-year-old vehicle, rising from 80,658 miles at the 7 December 2022 test to 92,456 miles by December 2025, an average of roughly 3,930 miles per year. The annual increments are consistent: 3,711 miles to November 2023, 4,120 to December 2024, and 3,967 to December 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the sparse clean record gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis, as the MOT history records no corrosion or structural checks beyond the standard pass criteria for a vehicle of this age. The Ranger's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on examination for deterioration linked to long standing periods, given the low yearly mileage. The duplicate 12 December 2025 entries showing a fail then pass at identical mileage suggest an administrative retest rather than a mechanical defect, but the buyer should confirm this with the DVSA certificate. No recurring faults or serious structural risks emerge from the record, implying previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance.
