2013 Ford Galaxy 1.6L Diesel · VK13 ABK

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent history highlights a point of concern. On 28 November 2025 at 83,602 miles, the car failed the MOT, indicating a specific mechanical or safety defect that required rectification prior to passing. The fact that it passed the re-test on the same day suggests the owner took immediate action to address the fault. Prior to this failure, the vehicle maintained a clean record with consecutive annual passes and no recorded adviseories or defects listed over the previous three years. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady climb from 55,796 miles in November 2022 to 83,602 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage typically suggests less strain on heavy components such as the clutch, turbo, and suspension artwork compared to higher-mileage examples. The regular intervals between tests indicate that the vehicle has been kept on a consistent schedule, which is a positive indicator of general upkeep. While the record does not show recurring structural failures, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the November 2025 failure to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue. Given the age of the Galaxy, a physical inspection should focus on corrosion on the undercarriage and the condition of the way bushes and artwork springs. The absence of adviseories in the recent history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, despite the single failure event.
