2023 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · SL23 NLA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 15 May 2026, following a failure just eight days prior. The failure on 07 May 2026 was caused by excessively worn ball joints on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. The condition trend appears to be improving, as the vehicle moved from a failed status to a clean pass within a week, suggesting the reported suspension defects were rectified before the retest. The mileage is exceptionally high for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 42,782 miles per year. This level of usage suggests heavy or constant use, which is consistent with the accelerated wear seen in the suspension components during the MOT test. Such high mileage typically implies increased wear on consumables, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. A buyer should first inspect the front suspension, steering linkage, and all associated bushings for any signs of play, noise, or further deterioration.
