2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · YM70 BWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 with 97,575 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous inspection, as several mechanical and consumable issues appear to have been addressed. The clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the immediate concerns identified previously were rectified, though the vehicle remains at minimum operational standards. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 and June 2025, the Ranger covered 5,664 miles, which suggests consistent long-distance usage patterns rather than long periods of standing stationary. This high rate of accumulation typically places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. While the consistent use suggests regular operation, the mileage accelerates the natural wear of all moving parts. A buyer should pay close attention to the December 2023 test at 91,911 miles, where both nearside and offside front inner tyres were near the legal limit and showed uneven edge wear. This pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension components such as ball joints or wisharm bushings. The rear brakes were also flagged as imbalanced at that time, requiring an in-person inspection to verify that the calipers are not binding and that the handbrake mechanism remains effective despite the high-mileage environment.
