2016 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · LA65 AFU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The April 2026 test at 89,969 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from the April 2025 test at 87,229 miles. This recent history suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard, as the previous mechanical advisories have been successfully addressed and cleared. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent and predictable pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. Averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year, the truck shows steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty wear. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 6,653 miles, while the most recent interval between April 2025 and April 2026 saw an increase to 2,740 miles. This slight deceleration in annual mileage does not suggest neglect but rather a shift in typical usage patterns. Historical data indicates some intermittent issues with consumables and drivetrain components. The February 2021 test flagged a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft constant velocity boot alongside two tyres worn close to the legal limit. A subsequent advisory in February 2022 noted thin front brake pads at 71,164 miles. While these issues appear to have been resolved given the subsequent clean passes, a prospective buyer should still inspect the condition of the CV boots and front brake components. Given the clean recent history, the primary focus during a physical inspection should remain on checking for any signs of weeping from the drive shafts or uneven tyre wear that might indicate alignment issues. Although no structural corrosion or suspension bush failures have been flagged in these records, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at the chassis and underside for any developing oxidation typical of a 2016 model.
