2015 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · G1 HOF

The 30 September 2025 MOT passed at 98,274 miles, yet the tester recorded near‑side and off‑side front brake pads wearing thin and the brake hydraulic reservoir approaching the minimum mark. These findings indicate normal consumable wear rather than a systemic fault, and the record shows no recurrence of the more serious defects noted in 2020 and 2022. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with minor wear items emerging as mileage increases but no evidence of deteriorating structural or drivetrain integrity. From 2017‑11‑24 to 2025‑09‑30 the vehicle accumulated 98,274 miles, averaging roughly 8,900 miles per year. The mileage progression is smooth, with no large gaps that would suggest prolonged storage or abrupt high‑kilometre runs. The incremental rise of about 1,200 miles between each annual test aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, confirming a consistent, moderate‑use pattern. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake pads and confirm that the brake fluid level is topped up, as the latest test flagged both as approaching service limits. Inspect the off‑side side step for ongoing corrosion, and examine the windscreen for the near‑side chip noted in 2024, ensuring it does not compromise structural integrity. Check the rear drum brake backing plates for any resurfacing needs, given repeated corrosion advisories, and confirm that the ABS and ESC warning lights remain extinguished, confirming the 2020 electronic faults have been rectified. A visual assessment of the body’s corrosion, especially around the integral structure, will further substantiate the vehicle’s long‑term durability.
