2020 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · PC70 BOS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 at 56,021 miles with no recorded defects. While the current certificate is clean, the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures just days prior to scheduled tests. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test within five days of the original appointment only to pass shortly after. This suggests the previous owners likely only addressed mechanical or safety issues when prompted by an impending test failure, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old Ford Ranger, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 39,614 miles and the July 2025 test at 56,021 miles, the vehicle covered 16,407 miles in roughly nineteen months, indicating steady and typical usage patterns. There is no evidence of long periods of standing which can lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components, nor is there excessive mileage that would suggest components are nearing the end prematurely. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the areas that triggered the recent July failures, although the record does not list specific defects for those instances. These failures are often related to minor consumable items such as bulbs, wiper blades, or tyre tread depth that were rectified quickly. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and check the brake discs for uneven thinning or corrosion, as these components fail regularly. Given the reactive nature of the maintenance, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion is essential to ensure no hidden rust has been overlooked despite the clean MOT results.
