AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2025‑12‑11 MOT at 82,563 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. Each annual test from 2021 through 2025 has produced a clean pass, showing no deterioration in the recorded outcomes. The mileage progression from 72,500 miles in December 2021 to 82,563 miles in December 2025 represents an increase of just over 10,000 miles in four years, or about 2,500 miles per year, which is modest for a 20‑year‑old Ranger. The regular yearly intervals and consistent pass rates suggest the owner has kept the vehicle in service without long standing periods, though the low annual mileage could also reflect limited use. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs are free of scoring, and examine the chassis for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and subframes. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee current condition, so a physical check of the exhaust system for cracks or excessive noise and of the tyre tread depth is advisable.
