2022 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · YM71 BUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding consumable wear components. In the most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 47,115 miles, the Ranger passed despite advisories for front inner brake pads wearing thin and rear tyres approaching the 2mm legal limit. This suggests that while the vehicle remains mechanically functional for now, the intervals between preventative maintenance are stretching, or the rate of wear is outpacing service intervals. The' pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 27,358 miles and the February 2026 test at 47,115 miles, the vehicle covered 19,757 miles in just enough months. This increased rate of use reflects heavy deployment, which explains the rapid degradation observed on the tyres and braking system noted in the latest'SA records. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment, as the recurring reports of edge wear on both front and rear tyres in 2025 and 2026 point to potential tracking issues or worn way bushes. The braking system requires immediate attention to verify pad thickness, as the inner pads were already near the limit. Given the mileage and the nature of the wear, checking for brake disc scoring or uneven caliper binding is essential to ensure the thin pads have not damaged the underlying hardware.
