2016 Ford Galaxy 1.5L Petrol · DA16 EUW

The 2016 Ford Galaxy remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-30 at 39,817 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior test on 2024-10-01 also passed, though an apparent duplicate entry for the same date notes a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a possible administrative error. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the record, and the vehicle’s maintenance trend shows stability over the past two years, with no critical failures or advisories. The vehicle’s mileage of 39,817 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 3,982 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and rubber seals. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, though the 2024-10-01 failure entry remains unexplained. No major gaps in testing are apparent, and the absence of defects in recent years suggests routine upkeep. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of dry rot in rubber components, corrosion in underbody areas, and stiffness in suspension joints, which can develop with low mileage. The lack of recorded brake or exhaust issues is positive, but visual checks of brake discs, calipers, and exhaust pipes are recommended. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the condition of the battery, fluids, and engine mounts—often overlooked in infrequent use—would provide further assurance of mechanical integrity.
