2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · WR72 YJD

The 2026-06-18 test confirms the vehicle is roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is deteriorating. The 2026-05-18 test passed at 73,072 miles with a nearside rear nail in the tyre, indicating that while the engine and transmission were sound, the suspension bushings and coil springs have degraded to the point where structural integrity is compromised. This represents a worsening trend compared to the 2025-10-03 test, which was clean and passed at 62,303 miles, suggesting the issue began around the 2026-05-18 date and has not been resolved. The mileage accumulation is significant, with 73,072 miles recorded in 2026, which is approximately 18,268 miles per year. This high mileage rate is inconsistent with a vehicle that has been in use for only four years, implying either excessive driving or a lack of preventative maintenance. The gap between the 2026-05-18 and 2025-10-03 tests suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over a year without a MOT, which is a critical red flag for a used buyer. Given the deteriorating suspension condition and the history of a failing MOT, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify any remaining corrosion or wear on the rear axle, suspension components, and brakes. The presence of a nearside nail in the tyre at the 2026-05-18 test indicates that the vehicle requires immediate attention to prevent further damage to the chassis or drivetrain.
