2020 Ford Ranger Thunder Ecoblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · RX70 MLL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 87,930 miles identified two minor defects: a damaged windscreen and an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While the vehicle passed despite these issues, the presence of these faults suggests that the owner is only addressing defects once they trigger an inspection failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern indicates high-intensity use, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 29,879 miles and the September 2025 test at 87,930 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 58,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation is consistent with a commercial or heavy utility profile, which places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The gap of 28,631 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests confirms this high rate of operation over short intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody, given the high mileage and the nature of a 4x4 Ranger. Check for worn bushes, perished ball joints, and leaking shock absorbers, which often degrade rapidly under heavy load conditions. The worn offside rear tyre noted in the 2025 test may indicate an alignment issue or uneven suspension wear that should be investigated immediately. Additionally, inspect the brake discs and calipers for excessive wear or thinning, as the high annual mileage suggests these components are likely nearing the end of their service life.
