2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · LL63 AEE

The 2014 Ford Ranger presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent 2026-01-16 MOT test at 156,698 miles recording no defects. This follows a 2025-01-29 PASS at 138,882 miles and a prior 2024-01-08 PASS at 117,255 miles, indicating consistent compliance. The single 2025-01-27 failure at 138,881 miles, though noted without defect details, does not suggest a recurring issue. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern shows regular testing, with no significant mechanical failures reported in the last three years. The mileage of 156,698 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 13,058 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. This high accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems. The gap between the 2023-01-06 test (105,427 miles) and 2024-01-08 test (117,255 miles) suggests a 11,828-mile increase in a single year, potentially indicating heavy usage or infrequent maintenance. However, the absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests implies that critical systems were maintained to acceptable standards. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and assess brake components for uneven wear or binding calipers. Corrosion in underbody areas, particularly around the exhaust system, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and usage. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into minor issues. A physical inspection is essential to verify the condition of tyres, brake discs, and structural integrity, as these elements are prone to degradation under sustained high-mileage operation.
