2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · T1 DSS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on February 19, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a lapse in preventative care, as the vehicle failed the test exactly one day prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the fault was clearly addressed immediately to secure a pass, the presence of a broken suspension component suggests that the owner did not proactively inspect for mechanical fatigue before the annual testing deadline. The Ranger has covered 50,042 miles over approximately four years, averaging roughly 12,500 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 34,227 miles and the February 2026 test at 50,042 miles, the vehicle clocked 15,815 miles in a single year. This increased rate of use indicates heavy operation, which typically accelerates wear on suspension components and braking systems. The lack of advisories in the 2025 test suggests the vehicle was in good condition then, but the recent mileage demands scrutiny. A buyer should perform a thorough visual inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the other coil springs and bushes are not showing signs of premature failure. Given the high mileage accumulation and the recent spring fracture, also verify the state of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or heat scoring. The record shows no structural corrosion or emission issues, confirming the core integrity of the chassis remains sound despite the high-use profile.
