2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · OV22 AEK

The 2022 Ford Ranger passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 35 579 miles, showing no recorded defects and indicating a stable maintenance pattern. The previous test on 29 March 2025 at 26 763 miles also returned a pass, confirming that the vehicle has not accumulated any persistent faults over the past year. The absence of advisories or failures across both inspections suggests the vehicle has been serviced regularly enough to keep its roadworthiness intact. Mileage progression from 26 763 miles to 35 579 miles over roughly ten months represents an increase of about 8 800 miles, which aligns with the expected annual mileage for a four‑year‑old utility vehicle. The interval between tests is typical, and the clean MOT history shows no gaps in servicing or sudden mileage spikes that would hint at neglect. This consistency implies the previous owner maintained basic upkeep, avoiding the kind of rapid wear that often follows irregular use. A prospective buyer should focus on the mechanical systems that are prone to gradual degradation despite the clean record. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, and examine tyre tread depth for uneven wear patterns. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, especially around the tailpipe and mounting brackets, and look for any signs of rust on the chassis or wheel arches. A visual check of the underbody for structural rust will also be prudent, as the vehicle’s age makes hidden corrosion a potential concern even when MOT records are clear.
