Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 October 2025 at 79,034 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met the required standards at that time. This follows a period of clean tests, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained well enough to avoid recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 47,543 miles and October 2025 at 79,034 miles, the car covered 31,491 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. There are no signs of long periods of stagnation or sudden spikes in mileage that would typically stress the drivetrain components. The intervals between MOT tests remain regular, which reflects a proactive approach to annual vehicle compliance. A buyer should pay attention to the advisory noted on 4 November 2024 at 67,646 miles, where the tester flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This specific wear pattern often indicates an alignment issue or a worn suspension component. While the 2025 test showed no defects, a physical inspection of the rear suspension bushes, arms, and tyres is advisable to ensure no uneven wear has developed. Given the lack of reported corrosion or brake-related failures in the history, the focus should remain on the condition of consumables and the integrity of the underbody components.

Our Verdict

Recommended for its reliable MOT history and below-average mileage, though the 2024 tyre wear issue warrants a pre-purchase inspection.

Prioritise checking the offside rear tyre and suspension components, as the 2024 MOT noted tyre wear. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly oil changes and diesel particulate filter (DPF) servicing common to 2.0L diesel engines. Negotiate slightly for the 2024 tyre repair cost, but the overall low-risk profile justifies a fair price. Be cautious of potential DPF-related issues, which are common in older diesel vehicles.

Diesel fuel economy for the 2.0L engine averages 40-45 mpg, resulting in moderate fuel costs. As a 2017 model, it qualifies for zero road tax (if registered after 2017). Insurance group is likely mid-range (estimated £1,200-£1,500 annually). Routine maintenance (oil changes, filter replacements) costs £100-£150 every 10,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.

Focus on the offside rear tyre and wheel alignment, as the 2024 MOT flagged edge wear. Inspect suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and the DPF for clogging, which can cause performance issues. Check for oil leaks around the engine and transmission. Verify that the 2025 MOT's 79,034-mile reading matches the odometer to rule out tampering.

This 2017 Ford Galaxy has a mostly clean MOT history with only one minor tyre-related failure. At 79,034 miles, the mileage is slightly below average for a nine-year-old vehicle. No major defects have been recorded in recent checks, suggesting generally good maintenance.

No aggregate MOT data available for the Ford Galaxy, but this vehicle shows no significant issues in its specific history.
