2013 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · GK63 EPJ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as the most recent MOT test on 2024-09-07 was a failure. This indicates that the previous owner has not maintained the car at a safe standard, and the current condition of the engine, brakes, and suspension is compromised, necessitating urgent professional inspection. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap between the two most recent tests, with the latest test occurring on 2024-09-07 at 68,713 miles. This gap suggests that the owner may have been absent for a period, allowing wear on consumables and suspension components to accumulate. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2023-06-30 and 2024-09-07 tests, which were both passed, highlights that the vehicle has experienced a period of accelerated wear without regular maintenance, a pattern that is likely to continue into the upcoming test. Given the recurring faults in the MOT record, such as the engine oil leak, anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicating an ABS fault, and offside headlamp aim too high, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear. The engine oil leak and ABS warning lamp suggest that the driver may not have taken the vehicle to the MOT regularly, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components are prone to corrosion and failure under the stress of high mileage.
