2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · KX14 XDM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The June 2025 test at 74,267 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of resolving previous issues, as the vehicle successfully cleared its testing requirements in both 2024 and 2022 after initial failures. The absence of any recorded advisories in the last two years suggests that the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,189 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 63,415 miles and the January 2024 test at 68,947 miles, the vehicle covered 5,532 miles over a fourteen-month period. The subsequent 5,320 miles covered between January 2024 and June 2025 indicate steady, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty strain. This consistent mileage profile reduces the likelihood of age-related component seizure often seen in low-use vehicles. While the recent records are clean, the history shows a recurring pattern of failing the initial MOT attempt before passing on a retest. Specifically, the vehicle failed on 15 January 2024 and 24 November 2022. Although the specific mechanical causes for these failures were not documented in the provided summary, such failures often relate to consumable items or minor adjustments required to meet emissions or safety standards. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, suspension bushes, and tyre tread depths to ensure no minor issues are developing between testing intervals. Given the vehicle's age and its classification as a pickup, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is advisable. Even with a clean MOT history, older Ford Rangers can develop surface rust or deeper structural degradation in the underside and wheel arches. Inspect the condition of the exhaust system and the integrity of the suspension components to confirm that the recent clean passes reflect genuine mechanical health rather than just the rectification of minor, superficial faults.
