2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · SN64 VFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 4 June 2026 at 148,595 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in May 2025. While the most recent test indicates a clean bill, the previous history reveals a period where critical mechanical and safety components were neglected, suggesting a reactive approach to repairs rather than a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 148,595 miles, this 2014 Ford Ranger has covered a high average of approximately 12,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy-duty use, with 7,878 miles recorded between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 5,953 miles in the year leading to the final test. This high annual mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, which is consistent with the wear and tear noted in the mid-life records. A physical inspection must focus on the areas of recurring concern identified during the May 2025 failure. The tester flagged corrosion on the offside front and rear brake pipes, which were also obscured by grease. A buyer should inspect these lines for further structural degradation and ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the point of repair. Additionally, the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage was previously noted as corroded, and the offside front track rod end showed play; these components should be checked for signs of excessive movement or bushing fatigue. The 2025 failure also highlighted poor tyre management, with one tyre being worn on the inner edge and the offside rear tyre being below the legal limit. While these were corrected for the subsequent pass, the uneven wear suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that could still be affecting vehicle geometry. Given the high mileage and the history of corrorelated faults, a thorough check of the steering system and brake integrity is essential to ensure the vehicle remains safe for long-term use.
