Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history consistently notes corrosion on the rear leaf spring anchor brackets and has previously flagged excessively corroded brake pipes. You should verify if the brake pipe corrosion noted in 2025 has been fully rectified or merely managed.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the evident wear on suspension components, such as the ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar linkages which have appeared in recent failures. Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the oil leak and the steering box free play noted in 2024. Given the age and mileage, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with diesel pickups is essential.
As a 2.5L diesel, running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's weight and likely usage. Fuel economy will depend on load and driving style, but buyers should budget for diesel prices and the potential for higher maintenance costs due to the vehicle's age.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 Ranger vary depending on specific trim, but the large engine size typically places it in a mid-range insurance group. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the recurring issues with suspension, brakes, and potential oil leaks seen in the MOT history.
Specifically inspect the rear suspension area; the MOT history shows repeated advisories for corroded leaf spring anchor brackets. Check the condition of all brake lines, particularly the offside rear section, as previous tests flagged excessive corrosion near the fuel tank and compensator.
Examine the engine bay for signs of the 'not excessive' oil leak mentioned in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records to determine if it is worsening. Additionally, check the front suspension for worn ball joints or deteriorated dust covers, as these have been recurring failure points for this specific vehicle.
This 2010 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel has covered 207,488 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding leaf spring anchor bracket corrosion, oil leaks, and suspension component deterioration. While it most recently passed an MOT in August 2026, the record indicates several persistent advisory items that have appeared across multiple years.
Aggregate data for the Ford Ranger shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.1%, with common failures related to headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
