2017 Ford Ranger 3.2L Diesel · YR67 AEN

The 2017 Ford Ranger last passed its MOT on 15 September 2025 at 61 952 miles with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement: after a comprehensive failure in September 2022 (front brake pads below 1.5 mm, worn discs, fractured front coil springs on both sides and a rear offside tyre below the 1.6 mm limit), the subsequent tests in 2023, 2024 and 2025 have all been clean passes. The pattern indicates the previously identified mechanical issues have been remedied and the vehicle’s condition has stabilised rather than deteriorated. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging roughly 6 900 miles per year over the nine‑year period. The increase from 49 776 miles in September 2023 to 58 577 miles in September 2024 (3 375 miles) and then to 61 952 miles in September 2025 (3 375 miles) reflects a consistent but modest annual rise. The most recent MOT was issued just over ten months ago (as of 7 August 2026), leaving the vehicle within its standard 12‑month validity window. The data shows no anomalous gaps or rapid mileage spikes, suggesting regular, moderate use. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension for coil‑spring integrity, as the 2022 failure highlighted fractures on both sides—a structural concern that can affect handling and safety. Brake components merit close scrutiny: measure pad thickness, examine discs for pitting or scoring, and listen for any binding calipers. Tyre condition remains a priority, particularly the rear offside tread depth, which previously fell below the legal limit; also assess overall tyre wear patterns for even distribution. Finally, given the vehicle’s age, a thorough check for corrosion on chassis components, under‑body panels and the exhaust system is advisable to ensure long‑term structural integrity.
