Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 Tdci Auto (2018)
2018 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 Tdci Auto
CarHunch analysed 151 real MOT records for the 2018 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 Tdci Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
At 49.5% first-time pass rate, this 2018 Ranger Wildtrak is significantly below the UK average of 80%—roughly half the vehicles tested failed their MOT. The good news is that no dangerous defects were recorded across the 151 vehicles analysed, so while reliability issues exist, they aren't safety-critical.
With a median mileage of 71,933 miles at around six years old, these Rangers are averaging about 12,000 miles per year, which is typical for this market segment. The 0.36 average failures per vehicle suggests issues are real but not catastrophic, yet the complete absence of advisory warnings is unusual and worth investigating further—if you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist to understand what's actually failing at test.
What to check before buying a 2018 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 Tdci Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
