2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · WP21 USC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 62,000 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with uneven inner edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry problem remains unaddressed despite the pass. The overall history shows a pattern where mechanical faults are only rectified after they trigger a test failure. At 62,000 miles over five years, this Ranger has averaged approximately 12,400 miles annually. This usage level is consistent with regular commercial application, which places significant stress on heavy-duty components. The data gap between June 2024 and June 2025 shows an accumulation of 14,336 miles in a single year. This high rate of travel explains the accelerated wear on consumables and suspension components, particularly the ball joints and coil springs identified in the previous year's records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. Both the nearside and offside front ball joints were flagged for play in 2024, and the fractured nearside coil spring noted that same month indicates the front end is under strain. You should verify that these parts were replaced with high-quality components and that a professional alignment was performed subsequently. The uneven tyre wear noted in June 2025 further necessitates a check of the tracking arms, bushings, and steering rods to prevent premature tyre failure.
