2009 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · AK09 TYO

The Ford Galaxy presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 2 February 2026 at 131,101 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The February 2026 pass came two days after a 30 January 2026 failure at 131,093 miles that recorded no defects, and a near-identical pattern occurred in January 2025 when a failure at 114,193 miles on 22 January was followed by a pass at 114,194 miles the same day with no defects logged. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating mechanical decay. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,700 miles per year against the 17-year-old vehicle's 131,101 recorded miles, which is typical for a people carrier of this age. The records show steady use: 109,479 miles in January 2024, rising to 114,194 by January 2025 and 131,101 by February 2026, an increase of about 21,600 miles over the final year. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects listed on any pass or fail, so the history gives little insight into wear on consumables or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the Galaxy's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag emerging wear. The repeated no-defect failures without listed reasons warrant direct enquiry with the test stations or a check of the VOSA failure category, as the entries do not explain why the vehicle was rejected. Given the clean recorded history, focus physical checks on underside corrosion, exhaust emissions and tyre condition. The lack of flagged faults across five tests implies previous owners kept the car to minimum test standards, but the unexplained January and February fail-pass pairs mean the buyer should confirm the true reason for those rejections before purchase.
