2016 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · G5 XFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of developing wear on suspension and braking components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 114,773 miles identified a severe deterioration of the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint dust cover. While the vehicle passed this inspection, the failure indicates that rubber-based components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to age and typical usage stress. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Ranger, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 93,462 miles and October 2025 at 114,773 miles, the vehicle covered 21,311 miles, suggesting regular annual use. This steady accumulation means the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which generally benefits engine health and seals but places constant load on the mechanical drivetrain and rubber bushings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs at 104,958 miles, and while the 2025 test focused on the ball joint cover, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or caliper caliper sticking. Additionally, the history of tyre damage and cracking in 2021 and 2022 suggests the previous owners may have neglected minor preventative maintenance, necessitating a close check of the current sidewalls for perishing or structural damage.
