2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · ML72 JWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on August 21, 2025. The maintenance trend shows a reactive response to a critical safety failure occurring just six days prior. While the vehicle failed the test at 11,519 miles due to a fractured offside front coil spring, the subsequent pass indicates that the previous owner was willing to rectify immediate mechanical defects once identified by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,888 miles per year. The 33-mile difference between the failure and the pass in August 2025 suggests the vehicle was likely driven only to a garage for the necessary repair work. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on brake rotors if the vehicle is not used regularly for longer. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the replacement coil spring was fitted correctly and that no adjacent bushes or shock absorbers show perished. Given the low usage, it is vital to check for seized calipers or pitting on the brake discs, as these often develop on vehicles that sit stationary. The presence of a fractured spring at such low mileage suggests a possible impact stress or a manufacturing defect rather than standard wear and tear, necessitating a close look at the underbody for any secondary damage.
