2016 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · EK16 UBL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 30 January 2026 at 279,848 miles showed no defects, mirroring the clean sheets seen in the previous four inspections. This consistency suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters that meet DVSA standards despite the heavy usage placed on the vehicle. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 28,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 177,248 miles and the January 2026 test at 279,848 miles, the car covered over 102,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation indicates long-distance motorway use, which often avoids the stresses of city driving but places significant strain on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components due to the sheer volume of cycles completed. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to such high-mileage cycles. Close attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake calipers for binding and inspecting the thickness of the brake discs is essential. While the MOT record shows no current structural corrosion, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the chassis to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
