2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · RO55 ABL

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-18 inspection at 67,424 miles. The 2023-07-05 test, which showed a failure, did not list any defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor procedural issue. Since 2022, the car has maintained consistent compliance, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. This indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years, though the 2023 failure warrants cautious scrutiny. The mileage of 67,424 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 5,619 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs through lack of use. Notably, the 2022-06-14 test at 52,241 miles passed without issues, and the subsequent 2023-07-05 test at 58,358 miles showed no defects despite the failure notation. The sparse data between 2022 and 2023 raises questions about the vehicle’s usage patterns, but the recent MOT history remains clean. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for dry rot or stiffness, particularly in bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to binding or uneven friction. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body, is critical to assess, as low-mileage vehicles may develop corrosion if stored in damp conditions. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2023 failure and low usage history necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
