FORD GALAXY2000 · 2.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents in a state of unknown roadworthiness due to a decade-long gap in official testing records. The last recorded MOT test in April 2016 at 138,566 miles passed with no defects, but this data is now ten years obsolete. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has operated without a certified safety inspection for a significant period, making it impossible to verify the current condition of its structural integrity, braking system, or safety-critical components. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between 2013 and 2016, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles, suggesting consistent use. However, the lack of any entries since 2016 indicates that the vehicle has either sat stationary for long periods or been used without legal compliance. Long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished brake hoses and suspension seals, and seized brake calipers, regardless of the low mileage recorded. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and braking system, as the history shows a pattern of recurring issues. Previous tests in 2014 and 2015 flagged corroded brake pipes, perished flexi hoses, and a binding offside rear brake. The surface corrosion noted on the nearside front chassis outrigger in 2014 suggests a vulnerability to rust that likely worsened over the last decade. Specifically inspect the suspension link pins and coil springs, as the vehicle previously failed for an incomplete spring and movement in the link pins.
