2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · RO67 HMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of deferred brake servicing. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 54,448 miles resulted in a pass advisory for front brake pads wearing thin. This mirrors a failure recorded in May 2024 at 47,612 miles for the same issue, alongside a misaligned nearside front headlamp. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the pattern suggests the previous owner waited for MOT intervals rather than performing proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the Ranger covered 7,701 miles, followed by 3,405 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low annual usage suggests light use, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts like suspension bushings, which may contribute to the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2023 test. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre alignment. The uneven inner-edge wear recorded in 2023 at 39,911 miles indicates a tracking issue or worn ball joints that was not fully addressed. Given the repeated advisories for thin brake pads, a physical check of the front discs is necessary to ensure no scoring or glazing caused by operating with worn friction material. Checking the chassis for structural corrosion is also vital, as the low mileage does not protect a vehicle from rust if exposed to elements.
