2011 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · DA11 TPZ

The Ford Galaxy presents as unroadworthy as of the most recent test, with a failed MOT dated 10 February 2025 at 163,316 miles and no defects logged by the tester. The maintenance trend is unstable rather than clearly worsening or improving, given the vehicle passed cleanly in February 2023 and February 2024 but failed twice on the same day in February 2024 and again in February 2025. A buyer should treat the current failure as an active blocker to road use until the presenting fault is identified and rectified. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging around 10,888 miles per year against the 163,316 miles recorded. The records show steady annual use: 127,060 miles in February 2022, 137,016 in February 2023, 146,402 in February 2024, and 163,316 by February 2025. Annual increments of roughly 9,000 to 17,000 miles indicate consistent private or light commercial operation rather than prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects listed across any pass or fail entry, which limits insight into wear on consumables or structure. Because the February 2025 failure carries no recorded defect, the buyer must verify in person why the tester issued the rejection. A clean advisory history does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity. Inspect for corrosion on sills and subframes, check binding calipers or uneven pad wear, and confirm exhaust emissions meet limits. The repeated same-day fail and pass in 2024 suggests a minor rectifiable item rather than neglect, but the 2025 fail with zero notes warrants caution before purchase.
