Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those needing space, provided the recent MOT failure is addressed. The vehicle shows a consistent testing pattern and has no recorded defects on its most recent pass.
When inspecting this 1997cc diesel Galaxy, verify the reason for the MOT failures in November 2023 and April 2025. While the records show 'no defects recorded' at the time of the pass, understanding what caused the initial failures is vital for assessing maintenance habits.
Given the high mileage, check the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and fuel filter replacements. As a large MPV, ensure all electronic features and interior trim components are intact, and check that the diesel engine starts cleanly without excessive smoke or hesitation.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Galaxy is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific trim level and driver profile. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including regular oil changes and potential attention to the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) if used for short urban trips.
Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a vehicle of this size and age.
Pay close attention to the drivetrain and lighting. Aggregate data for this model identifies drive shaft joints, headlamps, and tyres as common MOT failure points. Even though this specific vehicle passed its most recent test without defects, these are areas where wear is likely given the nearly 100,000 miles covered.
Inspect the tyres for even wear and check the headlamp clarity and alignment. Because the vehicle has seen two failures in recent years, a thorough check of the suspension components and brake wear is also recommended to ensure no recurring issues exist.
This 2012 Ford Galaxy diesel, finished in grey, has covered 99,348 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with two failures noted in 2023 and 2025, though both were followed by successful retests. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,734 miles per year, reflecting its likely use as a long-distance family vehicle.
Aggregate data from over 75,000 Ford Galaxy models shows a 76% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to drive shafts, lighting, and tyres.
