Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford Ranger is broadly usable but approachable caution is warranted due to repeated minor MOT failures on lighting. With a clean recent pass and below-average mileage for its age, it remains a reasonable buy if priced accordingly.
When viewing this Ranger, prioritise confirmation that the March 2026 lighting failures (offside front position lamp and rear registration plate lamp) were properly repaired, as the pass on the same day implies a quick fix but not necessarily a lasting one. Request the full service history to verify routine diesel maintenance such as timing belt and fuel filter intervals on the 2.2-litre unit, which is important for a 2015 commercial vehicle.
As a 2198cc diesel pickup first registered in September 2015, this Ranger will fall into a higher VED band for commercial-derived vehicles and likely an insurance group suited to light commercial use. Real-world fuel economy for a Ranger of this era is typically in the low 30s mpg, with diesel costs dominating for higher-mileage use.
Inspect all exterior lighting closely, especially the offside front lamp cluster and rear number plate lamps that failed in March 2026, and the offside dipped beam that failed in September 2024, to ensure no corrosion or wiring faults remain. Check for any moisture ingress in the headlamp units on this silver example.
The silver 2015 Ford Ranger (YR65AAF) shows 69,582 miles on its most recent March 2026 MOT, which is below typical expectations for an 11-year-old pickup. Its history includes three MOT tests with two failures, both solely for lighting faults such as a position lamp and registration plate lamp in 2026 and a headlamp dipped beam in 2024. The latest 2026 retest passed with no defects recorded, suggesting the issues were addressed. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests on the individual record alone.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Ranger, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.

- Oil Pump Loss of PrimeSerious
The variable-displacement vane-type oil pump on 2.2 and 3.2 Duratorq TDCi engines can completely lose its prime if the engine oil is allowed to drain for longer than 10 minutes during a service. Because the pump is mounted above the sump oil level, it cannot self-prime once dry. Starting the engine without priming the pump leads to zero oil pressure, rapid main bearing destruction, and catastrophic engine seizure within seconds.
- Turbocharger Failure (3.2)Serious
The 3.2-litre 5-cylinder Duratorq TDCi engine relies on a variable-nozzle turbocharger that is prone to premature failure. Carbon build-up in the variable vane mechanism causes the electronic actuator to stick or burn out, while oil feed pipe sludging starves the turbo bearings. If the turbo seals fail, engine oil is drawn directly into the intake tract, creating a dangerous diesel runaway risk or sudden loss of boost pressure.
- Common-Rail Fuel Injector Failure and RecallSerious
Both early 2.2 and 3.2 Duratorq diesels and early 2.0 EcoBlue engines suffer from injector failure. In 2015, Ford recalled nearly 14,000 UK Rangers for faulty injector batches that caused engines to cut out without warning while driving. Failed injectors suffer from high leak-back rates or internal nozzle jamming, leading to cylinder bore wash, uneven fueling, violent knocking, and melted pistons.
