2018 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · DW18 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 24 October 2025 at 85,324 miles, which recorded no defects. This recent clean result suggests that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a cycle of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep, as evidenced by the heavy list of advisories in previous years. The vehicle has covered 85,324 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 10,666 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK family vehicle use. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with the 2024 test at 78,987 miles and the 2023 test at 66,016 miles showing consistent annual progress without significant periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of neglected consumables, specifically tyres and braking components. In November 2023 at 66,016 miles, the vehicle failed due to inoperative lighting and multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing. The November 2024 test at 78,987 miles flagged significant wear across all four brake discs and both front and rear brake pads, alongside a perishing offside rear tyre. This suggests the previous owner tended to run components toward the end of their service life before intervening. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for any remaining corrosion or uneven wear on the discs and calipers. Given the history of perishing tyres, the current tread depth and age of the rubber should be verified. While the most recent test was clear, the repeated advisories regarding tyres and brakes indicate that a buyer must closely monitor the condition of these consumable items and ensure the suspension components are not suffering from secondary wear due to the previous neglect of tyres and braking hardware.
