2018 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · MM68 KLO

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 recorded two minor tyre-related defects: both nearside and offside rear tyres showed slight damage or perishing, with 3.5mm of wear on 265/60/18 tyres. These were classified as advisory issues (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), indicating they do not immediately endanger safety but require monitoring. No other defects were noted in this test. Earlier MOTs from 2024-2021 show a generally clean record, with only one non-critical issue in 2022: a defective offside side repeater lens that had no effect on emitted light (4.4.1 (b) (i)). The vehicle had no recorded defects in 2023 or 2021, and the 2024 test at 22,565 miles also showed no issues. This suggests a stable condition over most of its history, with only occasional minor concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 38,909 miles over 8 years equates to roughly 4,864 miles per year, which is lower than average. This could indicate light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may affect components like tyres, batteries, and fluids. While low mileage often correlates with less wear on mechanical systems, the 2025 tyre defects suggest potential age-related degradation rather than heavy use. The trend in defects appears stable, with no recurring or escalating issues.
