2022 Ford Ranger

CarHunch analysed 15,754 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Ranger. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Ford Ranger is a strong performer, with a 90.8% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%. Only 4.8% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuring for a pick-up truck designed for heavy use.

At just under 40,000 miles median, these Rangers are still relatively young, and the low failure rate of 0.19 per vehicle reflects that newness. With an average of one advisory per vehicle, mostly minor issues, a used 2022 Ranger is a genuinely reliable buy—but check the full service history and inspect for any towing or off-road wear before committing.

What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Ranger

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.
