2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · HT22 KUU

The overall roadworthiness of the 2022 FORD RANGER WILDTRAK ECOBLUE is currently unreliable in the sense that the MOT record exhibits a clear worsening trend, with the most recent test on 2025-07-01 failing at 89,671 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in a standard, preventative manner since the 2025-06-28 inspection, where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and failed the test at 89,552 miles. The failure in the September 2025 test at 52,000 miles suggests that the vehicle has been in the UK for approximately two years and has not undergone a full MOT cycle since the 2025-06-28 failure, a pattern that is statistically indicative of neglect. The mileage profile confirms that the vehicle is approaching a critical age for a 4x4 model, with 89,671 miles representing roughly 22,418 miles per year. While the record shows no gaps in mileage accumulation itself, the significant drop-off between the 2025-07-01 and 2025-06-28 tests suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced since the 2025-06-28 failure. This gap in maintenance history is the primary driver of the current reliability issues; the binding brakes and failed test at 52,000 miles are direct consequences of the lack of a full MOT cycle since the 2025-06-28 inspection. Given the recurring faults and structural risks, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific mechanical components that have degraded due to the lack of preventative maintenance. The most critical areas to examine are the brake systems, specifically the binding rear brakes and the condition of the suspension bushings, which have been flagged repeatedly. The vehicle also warrants a thorough check of the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the chassis, as the failure at 52,000 miles in the September 2025 test indicates that the drivetrain components have not been inspected for corrosion or damage. A buyer should not proceed with this vehicle until an on-site inspection reveals whether the braking system is still functional and whether the suspension has returned to its original condition, as the current data suggests that the vehicle is not roadworthy without immediate corrective action.
