2014 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · MY03 BAP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 117,472 miles resulted in advisories for both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in September 2022 where all four tyres were flagged for similar issues, suggesting the owner consistently delays tyre replacement until failure occurs. At 117,472 miles, the Ford Ranger has averaged approximately 9,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle. There is a significant spike in activity between March 2023 (97,527 miles) and April 2024 (115,128 miles), covering over 17,000 miles in just thirteen months. The April 2024 failure due to a missing offside windscreen wiper was a minor cosmetic oversight that was rectified immediately for the re-test. A buyer should physically inspect the alignment of the vehicle, as the recurring reports of uneven wear across multiple axles point toward potential issues with worn suspension bushes, control arms, or incorrect tracking geometry. Given the age and mileage of this Ranger, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly highlight structural decay but high-mile exposure to road salts often accelerates rust on the rails and mounting points.
