1996 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Petrol · A13 TFM

The 1996 Ford Galaxy presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across the five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 12 June 2025 at 177,654 miles returned a clean pass, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since at least 2021. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening or emerging advisories in the official record. Recorded mileage shows remarkably low annual use for a vehicle of this age. The tests chart a rise from 177,455 miles on 14 June 2021 to just 177,654 miles by 12 June 2025, a total of 199 miles over four years. That equates to roughly 50 miles per year, far below the 5,922-mile average implied by the lifetime figure. Such minimal accumulation suggests the Galaxy spent long periods stationary, with only the 2024 to 2025 interval showing 12 miles of movement. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs within the test scope. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion and suspension bushes in person, as a 30-year-old vehicle with long idle spells is prone to underbody rust and perished rubber even when MOT tests show clear. Brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism warrant hands-on checks for binding or seizure after years of disuse. The exhaust and emissions system should be verified for rot or leaks given the age. The low, static mileage and clean test slate imply a lightly used, possibly garaged example with basic statutory upkeep met. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the data to signal ongoing risk. Pre-purchase examination should focus on age-related deterioration invisible to the MOT lane rather than wear from high mileage.
