2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · CU64 MYZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding emerging mechanical and structural minor issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 70,855 miles identified several new defects that were absent in the previous 2022 inspection. While the car passed, the appearance of a corroded exhaust mounting and corrosion on the rear suspension arm indicates that the vehicle is beginning to suffer age-related degradation despite its relatively low mileage. At 70,855 miles, this 2014 Ford Galaxy has an average of approximately 5,900 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,500 miles recorded between annual tests since 2021. However, the low-frequency use often leads to specific failures in rubber components, as evidenced by the 2021 advisory regarding a perished nearside rear tyre. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out regardless of tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and exhaust system to assess the extent of the corrosion flagged on the suspension arm. The 2025 report also noted a fluctuating offside rear service brake, which typically indicates a warped brake disc or a sticking caliper that requires attention. Additionally, the recurring issue with seat belt fraying on the offside front and rear seats since 2023 is a persistent safety concern that likely requires replacement, as damaged webbing cannot be safely repaired. The consistent presence of child seats during previous tests also prevented full inspections of the rear adult belts, making a manual check of those components essential.
