2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · AF14 AAJ

The 2014 Ford Galaxy stands roadworthy following a pass on 16 March 2026 at 72,148 miles, yet the DVSA record shows it first failed that same day with no defects noted. The maintenance trend is stable across the available three-year history, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged in any test. Mileage rose from 49,224 at the 5 March 2024 examination to 60,963 at the 27 March 2025 failure and subsequent pass, then to 72,148 by the March 2026 tests. This equates to around 11,000 to 12,000 miles added per year recently, double the lifetime average of 6,012 miles annually. The sequence contains no prolonged gaps and every entry carries a zero-defect stamp, leaving a sparse but unblemished mechanical trail. Buyers should still commission a hands-on check of age-sensitive components. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers or corrosion, but a twelve-year-old people carrier demands scrutiny of front wishbone bushes, rear beam rust, brake disc thickness and exhaust emissions. A ramp inspection will confirm structural integrity beyond the paper record. The twin same-day fail-pass pairs in 2025 and 2026 with empty defect boxes suggest previous owners resolved administrative or presentation issues promptly. That pattern shows basic MOT compliance was upheld, though it reveals nothing about consumable upkeep like tyres or wiper blades. Personal verification of mechanical condition remains essential before purchase.
