2016 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · DS66 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 May 2025 at 256,064 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing without failure or advisory notes across the previous four tests. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 25,000 miles per year. The data shows a massive increase in usage over the last few years. Between 18 May 2022 and 10 May 2023, the vehicle covered 60,265 miles. This trend continued into 2024, where it added another 54,762 miles. The most recent interval from May 2024 to May 2025 saw the mileage rise by 36,832 miles. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the sheer volume of miles suggests significant wear on non-testable components. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts, as these typically degrade under high-mileage motorway use. The absence of brake disc or tyre advisories in the record is unusual for this mileage and suggests the previous owner replaced consumables proactively. Priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion on the underbody and chassis, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage rust. Given the high mileage, a full service history check is essential to verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. The drivetrain and gearbox should be tested for smoothness to ensure the high usage has not led to premature mechanical fatigue.
