2016 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · DV66 DAU

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend despite showing signs of age-related wear. The most recent test in November 2025 at 24,079 miles passed without any mechanical failures, noting only advisories for deteriorated registration plates. This indicates that the previous issues identified in earlier tests have either been addressed or have not progressed to a failing point under current low-usage conditions. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Data shows consistent, short-interval accumulation, with roughly 2,000 miles driven between the November 2024 and 2025 tests. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces due to lack of use. The record suggests the car has been used for short trips rather than long-distance commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the November 2024 test flagged worn arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front sides at 22,024 miles. Although these did not cause a failure, rubber bushes are prone to cracking when a vehicle sits for long periods. The rear braking system also shows a history of pitting and scoring on the discs and thin pads recorded between 2021 and 2022. You must verify that the rear brakes have been replaced and are not currently suffering from surface corrosion, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that remain stationary.
