2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · FX06 ALL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, dated 9 April 2025 at 48 419 miles, recorded a pass, yet the test is now well beyond the 12‑month validity window, rendering the Ranger not roadworthy as of 8 August 2026. The preceding failure on 7 April 2025 at 48 418 miles was rectified almost immediately, indicating a transient fault rather than a progressive decline. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring defects emerging across the limited history. Mileage progression shows roughly 8 600 miles added between the April 2024 test (39 846 miles) and the April 2025 test (48 419 miles), aligning with an average annual increase of about 9 700 miles. This rate is typical for a five‑year‑old utility vehicle and suggests normal usage rather than excessive wear. The MOT record is sparse, comprising only three entries over roughly two years, which limits insight into longer‑term component ageing. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the rapid fail‑pass cycle that likely involved a brake‑related issue. Suspension components, particularly rear bushing condition and coil‑spring integrity, merit close examination due to the vehicle’s work‑truck duty. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as uneven wear can signal alignment or suspension problems. Finally, a thorough look for corrosion on the chassis, exhaust mountings, and wheel‑arch areas is advisable, since rust can develop unnoticed between infrequent tests and may affect structural integrity.
