2020 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · GD70 MWJ

The most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 was passed at 81,133 miles, but the examiner noted that the off‑side rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit, with tread on the edge. This is the only defect recorded across three years of MOTs. Both the 2024 and 2025 tests highlight the same tyre‑wear issue, showing a consistent pattern of the off‑side rear tyre approaching the minimum tread depth. The fact that the defect has not progressed to a failure suggests the wear is being managed, but the repeated advisory indicates the tyre will need replacement soon, especially if the vehicle is driven hard. Mileage-wise, the Ranger has covered about 13,500 miles per year – higher than average for a six‑year‑old vehicle. This level of use can accelerate wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain components. While the MOT records no other defects, the higher mileage does imply more overall wear than a low‑mileage example. Overall the condition trend appears stable: no new faults have emerged, and the only recurring advisory is limited to tyre tread. However, the tyre wear is a tangible, near‑term maintenance item, and the high annual mileage suggests other wear items may be approaching the end of their service life. Key checks for a buyer: - Inspect the off‑side rear tyre for tread depth and sidewall condition; be prepared to replace it.
