2017 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · OV17 AEJ

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT test on 6 August 2025 at 66,937 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in August 2024 and August 2023, suggesting the vehicle is currently well-maintained and free of immediate mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,437 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2024 test at 57,250 miles and the August 2025 test at 66,937 miles shows a steady usage pattern of 9,687 miles over the year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The record shows two failures in early 2023. The vehicle failed on 5 April 2023 at 45,545 miles and again on 2 August 2023 at 48,106 miles before passing on 8 August 2023. While the DVSA record does not list the specific defects for these failures, the fact that the vehicle passed shortly after suggests the issues were rectified. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as this is a common vulnerability for this model regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake discs for wear, as the lack of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these components are not nearing the end of their service life. Verify the service history to ensure the oil changes align with the mileage increases seen between 2023 and 2025.
