2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · PO64 VGG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 67,764 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding corrosion on all four brake hoses and both front shock absorbers. This follows a pattern of intermittent mechanical failures in previous years, suggesting that while the vehicle is operational, components are now beginning to degrade due to age and environmental exposure despite the low mileage. At 67,764 miles, this 2014 Ranger has covered a low distance, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,000 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 7,800 miles in the year leading up to the May 2026 test. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion, which aligns with the current issues found on the brake hose ferrules and shock absorber casings. A physical inspection must focus on the progression of the corrosion noted in the May 2026 record. The corrosion on the ferrule of all four brake hoses requires a close look to ensure it does not lead to structural failure or fluid leaks. Additionally, the front shock absorbers should be checked for signs of oil leakage, as external casing damage often precedes a total loss of damping integrity. The history also shows a failure in 2025 for a worn track rod end and a failure in 2024 for worn brake pads, indicating that the buyer should verify that the steering geometry and braking system have been properly maintained and remain free of play.
