2010 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · AF10 GVP

The Ford Galaxy presents as roadworthy following a pass on 21 February 2026 at 74,589 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 20 February 2026 at the same mileage, though the DVSA entry records no defects against either the fail or the pass. A prior fail on 24 February 2024 at 72,105 miles also carries no recorded defects. These administrative-style failures with zero advisories suggest documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than active mechanical fault. The odometer shows 74,589 miles against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,662 miles per year. The car covered just 1,322 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, then 1,484 miles to February 2026. Low annual use of this order over sixteen years points to light running or extended standing periods. The clean pass sheet in February 2025 at 73,267 miles and February 2024 at 72,105 miles confirms no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions were raised during those windows. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and likely spells of inactivity. Standing vehicles of this era commonly develop perished rubber components, seized calipers, and hidden subframe corrosion that a no-defect MOT will not always expose. The twin failure entries without listed defects warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason with the test station to rule out a withdrawn certificate or late presentation fault. Verify service history independently and confirm the February 2026 fail was not a late-retest administrative reject. The Galaxy's low mileage is a positive, but age alone demands scrutiny of coil springs, steering joints, and coolant system condition before purchase.
