2023 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · WG72 HLC

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-17 passed, but the previous test on 2026-01-29 resulted in a failure. The main risk pattern identified is related to tyre condition and the engine management system. The previous failure noted the offside rear tyre tread depth was below the legal requirement, and the nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit or on the edge. The failure on 29th January also indicated an issue with the engine management light being inoperative or indicating a malfunction. The trend in the MOT history shows a significant deterioration between the two tests, as the previous test failed on safety-critical items like tyres, and the subsequent test passed, though it noted brake pad wear and a child seat issue. This suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, there was a period where tyre wear was a serious concern. The mileage of 32,789 miles for a vehicle that is approximately three years old suggests an average annual mileage of around 10,930 miles. This figure is generally typical for this age, meaning the wear on components like brakes and suspension should be consistent with normal usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should immediately inspect the condition of all four tyres, paying close attention to the wear patterns on the nearside rear tyre, as this was a specific point of failure previously. They should also check the engine warning lights to ensure the system functions correctly, and examine the brake pad wear noted in the most recent inspection.
