2007 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · LS07 PKU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 80,253 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 19 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,224 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent and low, with only 869 miles added between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. While the low usage reduces general drivetrain wear, the 2022 record shows a failure on 8 July at 76,742 miles followed by a pass four days later. The lack of recorded defects for that failure is unusual and suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a major mechanical breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas where low mileage and age often collide. Vehicles that stand for long periods are prone to seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and corrosion on the chassis and fuel lines. Despite the clean MOT history, the 2007 chassis is susceptible to structural rust that may not always be flagged if the vehicle is cleaned prior to testing. Check for signs of oil leaks and inspect the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often run on old rubber that has hardened over time. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regardless of the low annual mileage to prevent internal engine sludge.
