2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · ST15 AEB

The most recent MOT test on 19 November 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 86,701 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, as evidenced by consistent passes across all tests since 2022, with only one minor retest in June 2024—likely due to a scheduling oversight rather than mechanical failure. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear and tear patterns cannot be verified beyond the MOT’s scope. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,882 miles annually. There are no alarming gaps or spikes in mileage, though the retest in June 2024 (just four days after failure) implies a rushed or administrative delay rather than a mechanical issue. The 2023 to 2024 interval shows a steady increase of approximately 9,578 miles, which aligns with expected wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pads. The lack of early MOT failures also suggests no severe neglect, but the absence of pre-MOT servicing means hidden corrosion or fluid leaks could exist. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear were not flagged, but the brakes should be tested dynamically for drag or excessive noise. Structural integrity is harder to assess without a thorough underbody check, but the absence of MOT corrosion advisories suggests no severe rust penetration. Tyres, wiper blades, and headlight beam alignment are consumables that will need replacement soon, but these are straightforward to verify. The engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks, as the MOT record does not confirm regular oil or coolant changes.
