2015 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel · YA64 WMG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of typical age-related wear. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 95,465 miles identified heavily corroded exhaust flanges and deteriorated front upper ball joint boots on both sides. This represents a progression from the clean records seen in previous years, indicating that components are now beginning to reach the end of their functional life cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2022 at 46,675 miles and August 2024 at 75,794 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles without an annual test. Since then, the vehicle has added roughly 20,000 miles in just two years, suggesting a return to higher-frequency use which explains the accelerated degradation of the rubber components and exhaust hardware. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension during a physical evaluation. The recurring deterioration of the ball joint dust covers noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the steering components are under constant environmental stress; if these boots tear further, the joints will fail rapidly due to grease loss. The heavy corrosion reported on the exhaust flanges requires a close look to ensure the rust is merely surface-level rather than structural, which would lead to a failure in the next MOT if the metal begins to perish.
