2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Ecoblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · WN73 VLB

The most recent MOT, carried out on 13 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the absence of any failures suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard up to the date of testing, and there are no indications of a deteriorating trend. In the absence of prior failures, the current status can be regarded as stable, and the lack of advisory items points to a generally sound mechanical condition at the time of inspection. At three years old the Ranger has logged 20,330 miles, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the normal usage envelope for a light‑commercial vehicle of this age, implying that the drivetrain, suspension and braking components have not been subjected to excessive wear through high mileage. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would hint at prolonged periods of inactivity, so the vehicle’s wear pattern should be consistent with its modest annual run‑rate. For a buyer, the first visual checks should focus on tyre condition: examine tread depth, look for uneven wear that could signal mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and inspect the sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, as tyre rubber can deteriorate with age even on low‑mileage units. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking voltage and checked for any signs of electrolyte loss or terminal corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent time standing idle. Verify that the service book contains regular oil and filter changes, and confirm that the coolant, brake fluid and gearbox oil have been replaced according to the manufacturer’s calendar intervals rather than solely on mileage, since fluid degradation can occur over three years regardless of distance travelled. During a test drive listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate worn coil springs, bushings or ball joints, and feel for any pull or vibration that might reveal tyre imbalance or alignment issues. Apply the brakes firmly and note any pulsation, shudder or increased pedal travel that could point to disc surface corrosion or a sticking caliper, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Finally, inspect the under‑body for rust, particularly around wheel arches, suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, and ensure that all lights, windscreen wipers and the ECOBLUE emissions system operate correctly, as these are common time‑based wear items on relatively new but lightly used models.
