2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · HG71 CWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in December 2025 at 45,832 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The failure was severe, involving a dangerous offside front tyre with exposed cords, which physically prevented the tester from even verifying the brake performance. This sequence suggests the previous owner only addressed critical defects when forced by a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 45,832 miles over five years, the Ranger has covered an average of approximately 9,166 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 11,541 miles recorded between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. While the mileage itself is low for a diesel-based pickup, the frequency of-related failures indicates that the vehicle's consumables may have been neglected between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and wheel geometry. The record shows recurring tyre wear issues, specifically the offside front tyre wearing on the inner edge in 2024 and both rear tyres reaching the legal limit in 2025. This pattern often points to misalignment issues or worn suspension bushes that continue to cause premature tyre degradation. Furthermore, because the brakes could not be tested during the 2025 failure due to the dangerous tyre, a physical check of the brake discs and calipers is essential to ensure no underlying binding or excessive wear has occurred during the periods of neglect.
