Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Ecoblue 4x4 A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Ecoblue 4x4 A?

This 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue is a serious reliability concern: only 44.1% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 649 vehicles, safety isn't the issue—but something systemic is causing widespread failures on initial test.

At around 50,000 miles median, these trucks are running relatively low mileage for their age, yet the failure rate suggests the problem isn't wear-and-tear alone. The average of 0.13 failures per vehicle across the cohort indicates multiple vehicles are returning multiple times, pointing to either a design weakness or a batch issue with this specific model variant. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist and check the full service history meticulously.

The 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Ecoblue 4x4 A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (90% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
