2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Tdci 4x4 Auto

CarHunch analysed 144 real MOT records for the 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Tdci 4x4 Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak TDCi is a significant reliability concern: only 40.5% pass their MOT first time, half the UK average of 80%. There are no recorded dangerous defects in this cohort, which is positive, but the low pass rate suggests systemic issues that buyers need to investigate before purchase.

At a median mileage of 46,557 miles, these vehicles are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still failing MOTs at twice the national rate—this points to design or build quality problems rather than wear-and-tear. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the specific failure patterns in this model, and budget for early repairs beyond the warranty period.

What to check before buying a 2020 Ford Ranger Wildtrak Tdci 4x4 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.
