2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · HT71 DJJ

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on July 7 2025 at 7,604 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement where an initial failure early in the year was successfully rectified, leading to a clean pass with no defects recorded in the subsequent follow-up. This progression suggests that the specific issues identified during the January test were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within a stable mechanical state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old Ranger, averaging approximately 1,521 miles per year. Between January 2025 and July 2025, the vehicle covered only 780 miles, indicating it sits stationary for long periods or is used only for very short local trips. While this low usage limits wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, prolonged stationary periods can lead to flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation from lack of circulation. A buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure recorded on January 7, 2025, as the record provided does not detail the mechanical or structural failure point. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on signs of surface corrosion on the brake discs and the condition of rubber bushings which may perish from age rather than wear. Checking the tyre manufacture dates for cracking is also essential, as low tread depth often masks declining structural integrity of the rubber compound over five years.
