2021 Ford Ranger 2.0L Diesel · YR71 CGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2026 at 38,505 miles. This pass followed a failure on the same day due to both rear tyres having tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit. The overall maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the owner addressed immediate safety failures to secure a clean certificate after a period of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 34,754 miles and the September 2025 test at 36,642 miles, the vehicle covered 1,888 miles. The subsequent interval to May 2026 shows an additional 1,863 miles over eight months. This low annual mileage suggests the truck was not subjected to heavy commercial work, which typically accelerates wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system based on the failure in August 2024. At that time, the tester flagged thin inner brake pads and fluctuating discs on both front sides. While the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 test, the buyer must verify that the discs were actually replaced or resurfaced rather than simply left to thin or thin further. The 2026 failure regarding rear tyres indicates that the owner may wait until components fail before replacing, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of the remaining tyre life and suspension bushes for signs of uneven wear or perished rubber.
