2013 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · SN13 UOC

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 13 July 2023 resulting in a pass without any recorded defects or advisories. This absence of flagged issues is notable for a utility vehicle of this vintage, suggesting a stable mechanical condition leading up to its last official inspection. The recorded mileage of 152,953 miles reflects a typical usage pattern for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 11,766 miles per year. While this accumulation is standard for the age of the vehicle, the high total mileage indicates significant cumulative wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system, which may not always be captured in a pass/fail MOT snapshot. Given the lack of specific advisories in the DVSA history, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the integrity of the chassis and load-bearing components. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering precision and listen for any knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages or ball joints common to high-mileage Rangers. Ensure the drivetrain operates smoothly by checking for any hesitation or shudder during gear changes and acceleration. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the high mileage warrants a thorough check for oil misting around the engine seals and a visual inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear crossmember and chassis rails.
