2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · LL71 AOU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 6 November 2025 at 55,156 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure regarding headlight alignment. The tester initially flagged both the offside and nearside front headlamps for being too high, but this was rectified via internal adjustment, indicating a simple calibration issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the 7 November 2024 test at 44,725 miles and the November 2025 test, the vehicle covered 10,431 miles in exactly one year. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity which often leads to brake corrosion or fluid degradation. While the MOT history shows no significant mechanical or structural defects, a physical inspection should focus on the components related to the recent failure. You should verify that the headlight adjustment mechanism remains secure and does not drift out of alignment during driving. Given that the history lacks recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or corrosion, a thorough check of the undercarriage and chassis is still necessary to ensure no hidden wear has developed between the annual inspections.
