2007 Ford Ranger 2.5L Diesel · YA07 HWN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025 at 162,579 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met minimum legal standards following immediate repairs. While the record shows initial failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes recorded on the same day suggest the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects to keep the vehicle on the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 148,053 miles and October 2024 at 153,683 miles, the vehicle covered 5,630 miles, followed by a higher interval of 8,896 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This usage indicates regular, moderate operation, which typically results in even wear across the drivetrain and suspension components compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and load rails, as older Ford Rangers are prone to deep corrosion that may not always trigger a failure. Although the recent tests show no lingering defects, the recurring failures prior to the passes suggest that components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake lines require frequent monitoring. Given the mileage, a close check of the brake discs for thinning and the condition of the rubber bushings for signs of perish cracking is advisable to ensure the mechanical wear remains expected on a vehicle of this age and usage profile.
