Our Verdict
A strong choice for families thanks to its exceptionally low mileage, though recent MOT failures suggest some deferred maintenance that should be addressed before purchase.
When inspecting this Galaxy, prioritize checking the service history. Given the low mileage, it is vital that the car has had annual oil rather than just relying on interval-based servicing to ensure the diesel engine remains lubricated. Pay close attention to the recent MOT advisories; the offside front drive shaft boot is noted as severely deteriorated, and you should ensure this has been replaced to prevent expensive damage to the gearbox.
Check the interior condition of the seats and seat belts, as the history shows a damaged middle-row buckle in the past. Ensure all exterior lighting is functioning perfectly, as this has been a recurring failure point for this specific vehicle. If the rear brake pads are indeed thin as advised, use this as a negotiating point for the cost of immediate replacement.
The 2.0-litre diesel engine is relatively efficient for a large vehicle, likely achieving 45-55 mpg on mixed journeys. Tax bands are mid-range for this era, and insurance groups typically fall between group 22 and 26 depending on your personal profile and location.
Maintenance costs for the Galaxy are generally predictable, though large tyres can be more expensive than on a standard hatchback. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the front offside CV joint boot. The most recent MOT flagged a severely deteriorated boot, and if the grease has leaked out, the joint will soon fail, leading to a much higher repair bill. Also, inspect the rear for signs of brake wear, as the MOT advisor noted the pads are wearing thin.
Check the electrical system thoroughly. This vehicle has failed multiple times for inoperative headlamps and registration plate lamps. Ensure all bulbs are working and the wiring is not perished. Additionally, test the middle-row seat belts to ensure they click securely and retract smoothly, following the reported damage in 2022.
This 2019 Ford Galaxy is a low-mileage example, covered just over 40,000 miles in seven years, which is significantly below the national average for its age. While it has faced some minor MOT failures related to lighting and wear, the overall history indicates a well-used but capable MPV. The 2.0L diesel engine is a robust choice for long-distance cruising, provided it has been serviced according to the Ford schedule.
The Ford Galaxy is generally considered reliable, though diesel particulate filter systems and electrical components are common concerns as they approach higher mileage.
