2006 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · NR06 BOY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean sheet in the most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on January 2026 at 142,559 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in early December 2023, the immediate pass on the following day at the same mileage suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2024, the Ranger covered 20,281 miles, showing a steady rate of usage. The most recent interval between December 2024 and January 2026 saw an accumulation of 6,669 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing brake corrosion and component seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and load bed, as vehicles of this era are prone to deep-seated corrosion. Although the recent records are clean, the age of the Ranger means that rubber components and suspension bushings are likely nearing the end of their service life. Inspect for signs of weeping shock absorbers and check the condition of the brake lines, as the MOT is not exhaustive for detecting minor fluid leaks or early stage degradation that does not yet trigger a failure.
