2014 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · SY14 JZR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 13 June 2025 at 169,863 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a period of consistent maintenance following a minor failure in May 2022, as the vehicle has maintained its pass status annually without any recurring mechanical or structural flags. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity usage consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. There is a significant jump recorded between May 2022 and June 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since 2023, the usage has settled into a steady rate of roughly 3,300 miles per year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance transit, which typically accelerates wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. Despite the clean MOT history, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a physical focus on components prone to heavy-duty load stress. A buyer should inspect the front suspension, specifically the control arms and ball joints, for signs of play or perished rubber. Because the vehicle has covered significant distances, checking the thickness of the brake discs and looking for uneven wear or scoring on the calipers is essential. Given the Ranger's age, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion around the spring mounts is also required to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised by years of exposure and heavy loading.
