2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · PT13 APT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in July 2025 with 58,006 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as faults are consistently limited to minor electrical and consumable items rather than mechanical or structural failures. The failure in the latest test for an inoperative registration plate lamp was rectified immediately within two miles of travel, suggesting the owner addresses minor defects promptly to maintain a valid certificate. At approximately nine years old with 58,006 miles, the Ranger has averaged roughly 6,445 miles per year. This is consistent with light annual usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with 8,394 miles covered between the September 2022 and July 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive stress on the drivetrain or suspension components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to premature degradation of rubber parts. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension in person, as the July 2024 test at 54,721 miles flagged a corroded nearside front coil spring. While corrosion on springs is common in UK conditions, it can lead to structural failure or snapping if left unaddressed. Additionally, the history shows a recurring pattern of tyres reaching the legal limit across all four axles between 2022 and 2023. This indicates a tendency to run tyres until they are nearly bald, necessitating a thorough check of the current tread depth and wear patterns to ensure the alignment is not causing uneven scrubbing.
