2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · RX15 VRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 105,296 miles, it failed the test just ten miles prior due to significant electronic and mechanical faults. The presence of an inoperative engine management indicator lamp and an ABS fault during that failure suggests that critical diagnostic systems were ignored until they forced a failure, indicating an owner who only addresses issues when necessary for legal compliance. At 105,296 miles over 11 years, the Ranger averages approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,500 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents moisture-related corrosion, but it places consistent load on the drivetrain and braking components. A buyer must scrutinise the front braking system, as the record shows a recurring pattern of worn and pitted discs alongside thin pads across the 2024 and 2025 tests. The tester flagged worn discs at 96,784 miles and found them pitted and scored at 105,286 miles, suggesting that previous replacements may have been substandard or delayed. The recent failure of the ABS system and the engine management light in October 2025 also requires a professional diagnostic scan to ensure these faults were properly rectified and not merely cleared to pass the test.
