2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · KS21 YSP

The 2021 Ford Ranger presents an exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 February 2026 at 41,038 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or fails. This is not an isolated event; the vehicle has achieved a completely clean sheet across all three recorded tests. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently positive, indicating a vehicle that has been well-kept and mechanically sound throughout its life. A clean pass with no advisories is a strong positive signal, suggesting no developing faults were identified by the tester at the time of inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably linear and predictable. The vehicle covered 18,027 miles by its first MOT on 4 April 2024, then added 12,467 miles to reach 30,494 miles by 1 April 2025, and a further 10,544 miles to reach 41,038 miles by 21 February 2026. This equates to an average annual mileage of approximately 8,200 miles, which is typical for its age and suggests consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or very high-intensity commercial work. The steady accumulation is reassuring, as it points to a vehicle that has been driven regularly, helping to keep seals lubricated and components exercised. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the components that typically see higher wear on a working pickup. The underbody, chassis rails, and load bed must be inspected for corrosion, stone chips, and any signs of structural rust, especially around mounting points and crossmembers. Suspension components, including front and rear coil springs, shock absorbers, and bushes, should be checked for leaks or deterioration, as these endure significant stress. Brake discs, pads, and calipers require close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, a common issue on vehicles used for towing or load carrying. The tyres and wheel bearings deserve particular attention, as a pickup of this type often operates on varied surfaces and under load. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for damage and check the tread depth across all four wheels for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. While the MOT record is flawless, a professional inspection provides the final layer of assurance before purchase.
