Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this vehicle, prioritise verifying the full service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical maintenance. Given the low mileage, check for signs of inactivity or 'city use' wear, such as brake disc corrosion or battery health.
Negotiations should focus on the remaining tread depth of the tyres and the condition of the chassis. As a utility vehicle, it is important to inspect the load bed and underbody for any signs of heavy use or corrosion that may not be captured in an MOT test.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this Ranger is designed to meet modern emissions standards, which helps with access to low-emission zones. However, as a large 4x4, insurance groups are typically higher than standard cars, and fuel economy will be lower than smaller diesel variants.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its CO2 emissions and the higher cost of 4x4 consumables, such as larger tyres and specialised filters. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
Inspect the rear lighting clusters, specifically the stop lamps, as the vehicle has a recorded failure for a nearside stop lamp in November 2024. While the most recent MOT in January 2026 recorded no defects, it is worth verifying that all electrical components are functioning correctly.
Referencing aggregate model data, pay close attention to the condition of the coil springs and tyres, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Ford Ranger. A thorough inspection of the suspension components and tyre sidewalls for perishing or wear is recommended.
This 2021 Grey Ford Ranger has recorded 25,508 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026, placing it well below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is largely clear, with only one recorded failure for a stop lamp in November 2024 which was rectified on the same day. It features a Euro 6 compliant 1996cc diesel engine.
Based on data from 154,109 vehicles, the Ford Ranger has an average MOT pass rate of 80.1%.
