Our Verdict
Recommend buying this 2022 Ford Ranger,
Check the service records for any work carried out on the front suspension, especially the coil spring that failed on the 2025 MOT. If the spring has been replaced, request receipts and verify the part number to ensure it matches OEM specifications. Negotiate a price reduction to cover any potential re‑inspection or replacement costs if the repair history is unclear.
Ask the seller for a full MOT certificate and any accompanying advisory notes; the failure was recorded as "Offside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))", which can be a costly repair on a diesel‑powered Ranger. Ensure the vehicle has no outstanding advisories that could indicate further hidden faults.
Consider the vehicle's usage history – low mileage suggests limited use, but confirm the odometer reading aligns with the first registration date (September 2022) to rule out any discrepancies.
The 2.0‑litre diesel engine typically achieves around 45‑50 mpg on mixed driving, giving fuel costs of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year at current diesel prices. As a Euro 6 diesel, the annual road tax is £150 for the 2022 model year.
Insurance for a 2022 Ford Ranger falls in Group 30‑33, meaning premiums are moderate for a midsize pickup. Routine maintenance on a diesel Ranger, including oil changes and filter replacements, averages £300‑£400 annually. Combined, the estimated annual running cost sits in the £1,800‑£2,200 range.
If the coil spring has needed replacement, factor an additional £200‑£350 for parts and labour, which could raise the first‑year total but should not affect ongoing yearly costs once the repair is completed.
Inspect the front suspension thoroughly, focusing on the off‑side coil spring and surrounding mounts, as the MOT failure specifically cited a fractured spring. Look for any signs of corrosion, cracked bushings, or uneven tyre wear that could indicate lingering suspension issues.
Check the condition of the front wheel bearings and brake components, as a compromised spring can place extra stress on these parts. Listen for unusual noises during a short test drive, such as clunking or squeaking when navigating bumps.
Review the MOT certificates for any advisory notes beyond the failure; advisories often highlight emerging problems. Verify that the vehicle's tyre tread depth meets legal standards and that the headlamps (another top failure reason for the model) are fully functional and correctly aligned.
The vehicle has only 15,241 miles, well below the model's average annual mileage of 9,862 miles, indicating low wear for its age. It passed its most recent MOT after a single failure for an off‑side front coil spring, a known common issue for Rangers. The model's overall MOT pass rate is 80.2%, so a single failure is not unusual. Overall, the low mileage and recent pass make it a reasonable purchase, provided the suspension is inspected.
Ford Rangers have an 80.2% average MOT pass rate, with coil springs listed among the top failure reasons, indicating a moderate reliability profile.
