2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · LD21 ADL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on March 19, 2025. The maintenance trend shows a recent dip in mechanical component integrity that was immediately addressed. While the previous test in July 2024 was clean, the failure in March 2025 indicates a specific issue with the front suspension assembly that required rectification to achieve a passing grade the following day. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a five-year-old Ranger, averaging approximately 11,300 miles annually. Between the July 2024 test at 46,210 miles and the March 2025 test at 56,556 miles, the vehicle covered 10,346 miles in just eight months. This suggests active, regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and prevents the seizing of the brake system. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replacement coil springs were fitted correctly, as the simultaneous failure of both the nearside and offside front springs suggests the vehicle may have encountered heavy loads or poor terrain that accelerated metal fatigue. Check for any remaining signs of weeping from the shock absorbers or excessive play in the suspension bushes. Given the recent repair, verifying the alignment and checking for uneven tyre wear is essential to ensure the fractured springs did not compromise the steering geometry over time.
