Our Verdict

A solid purchase for those needing a hig

Given that this vehicle has covered over 90,000 miles in less than five years, it has clearly been used extensively, likely for commercial or heavy-duty purposes. Buyers should prioritise verifying the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes and component inspections commensurate with such high mileage.

When negotiating, consider the accelerated wear on consumables. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, the high mileage suggests that items like suspension components, brakes, and tyres may be approaching the end of their service life. Check for any evidence of heavy load usage or off-road wear that might not be captured in a standard MOT test.

As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this Ranger is designed for efficiency in larger vehicles, though its running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect moderate fuel economy depending on load and driving style, and as a Euro 6 model, it remains compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).

Maintenance costs for a high-mileage diesel can be higher due to the potential need for timing belt replacements or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) maintenance. Insurance groups for the Ranger vary, so obtaining a specific quote is essential. The estimated annual running cost typically covers fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.

While the MOT history for MJ71TLU is clean, the aggregate data for Ford Rangers indicates that headlamps, coil springs, and tyres are common failure points. You should specifically inspect the lighting clarity and the condition of the front coil springs for any signs of sagging or corrosion.

Additionally, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition across all four wheels, as well as the brake pads and discs. Given the 90,985 miles recorded, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and steering components is advisable to ensure the vehicle handles as expected.

This 2021 Ford Ranger has covered 90,985 miles since its registration in November 2021, which is significantly higher than the model average of 9,788 miles per year. Despite the heavy usage, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 without any recorded defects. It represents a high-utilised example of the 2.0L diesel variant.

Across 154,109 analysed vehicles, the Ford Ranger shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.1%, with common failures related to lighting, springs, and tyres.
