2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · JS08 COB

This Ford Ranger has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past five MOT cycles, with each test concluding in a clean pass without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2026-01-19 confirms no outstanding mechanical or structural issues, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in compliance with UK roadworthiness standards during its most recent period of use. There is no evidence of recurring faults or progressive deterioration in the recorded history, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear that may not yet meet MOT thresholds. The vehicle’s mileage progression of approximately 10,369 miles annually—calculated from the 93,318 miles recorded today—aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The most significant gap between tests occurs between the 2022-02-01 and 2023-01-13 MOTs, where the vehicle accumulated roughly 12,000 miles in under a year, indicating active use rather than prolonged neglect. No advisories or defects during these periods imply that the higher mileage did not compromise structural or critical mechanical components, though accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension bushes would be expected over time. Given the lack of recorded faults, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of uneven sagging or excessive play, as these components are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The braking system warrants close examination, including rear brake binding (common in older Rangers) and the condition of brake discs and pads, even if no MOT failures were noted. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity without being visible until advanced stages. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures on tyres suggests either recent replacement or inconsistent maintenance.
