2018 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · M1 EYG

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a successful MOT on 11 February 2026 at 76,652 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test cycle shows a specific mechanical failure that required immediate attention. A failure just five days prior, on 6 February 2026 at 76,641 miles, saw the offside front coil spring flagged as fractured or broken. This indicates a recent repair was necessary to rectify a suspension component failure, but the subsequent pass suggests the issue was addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 52,670 miles in November 2021 to 76,652 miles in February 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity or neglect. The progression from 63,722 miles in May 2023 to 74,590 miles in July 2025 shows a predictable pattern of regular road use. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. While the broken coil spring has been rectified, the failure of a major suspension component can sometimes indicate wider wear in the shock absorbers or mounting points. The 2021 failure regarding weakened central rear seat belt webbing was resolved, but it remains prudent to check all seat belt tensioning and webbing integrity to ensure no further degradation has occurred. Aside from these specific points, the MOT history is remarkably clean, with no recorded advisories for brake wear, tyre condition, or structural corrosion across the last several years. The lack of recurring advisories for consumables like brake pads or wiper blades suggests a history of proactive maintenance. No immediate mechanical red flags appear in the data, provided the recent spring replacement was performed to a professional standard.
