2019 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · MF69 MXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 81,769 miles passed with advisories for worn front tyres and a non-functional central stop lamp. This status represents a stable trend following the significant mechanical failures recorded in late 2024, suggesting the previous owner addressed critical suspension faults once they triggered an MOT failure. The recorded mileage of 81,769 miles over seven years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 11,681 miles, which aligns with typical demand for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,300 miles driven between the October 2023 test and another 7,300 miles before the November 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and braking components. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension geometry due to recurring failures of spring components. The offside front coil spring failed in both October 2023 and November 2024, while the offside rear leaf spring fractured during the November 2024 test. These repeated failures indicate heavy stress on the suspension system or potential alignment issues that are accelerating component fatigue. Additionally, the minor central front oil leak noted in 2024 requires a physical inspection to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant leak that could affect the drivetrain or engine belt.
