2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · R2 PLX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, following a clean MOT pass on 11 May 2026 at 47,662 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend, as the mechanical defects identified in the previous year have been addressed and rectified. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical repairs once they are flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 24,910 miles and the May 2025 test at 32,471 miles, the Ranger covered 7,561 miles, while the subsequent interval saw a higher increase of 15,191 miles. This fluctuation in usage suggests typical utility patterns rather than consistent heavy commercial strain, which generally preserves the longevity of the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside front shock absorber, which caused a test failure on 14 May 2025 due to a serious fluid leak. While the 2026 test confirms this has been replaced, a visual check should verify there are no new signs of weeping or damage to the mounting. Additionally, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in May 2024, so the buyer should inspect the remaining pad life and disc condition to ensure the service was performed to a high standard. The tyre pressure monitoring system should also be checked for any lingering faults in the dashboard display to ensure the 2025 failure remains fully resolved.
