2007 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · EN56 NNC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred repairs regarding mechanical wear components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 169,986 miles passed, it flagged corroded rear coil springs, thin brake pads, and pitted discs. These issues follow a significant failure in March 2024 where multiple faults including poor parking brake efficiency and exhaust emissions were identified. The current pattern suggests the owner addresses faults only to pass inspections rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 169,986 miles over 19 years, the Galaxy has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an MPV of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,600 miles covered between March 2024 and October 2025. However, the persistent presence of non-excessive oil leaks recorded in every annual test from 2022 through 2025 indicates a long-term seal or gasket failure that has not been rectified despite the high-mileage context. A buyer must physically inspect the underside for advancing structural corrosion, as the record specifically noted rear underside corrosion in 2023 and corroded springs in 2025. The front suspension requires close attention, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints and control arm bushes which were previously flagged as worn or failing. Given the documented history of a defective gearbox mounting in April 2024 and fluctuating front brakes, a road test is essential to check for vibrations or drivetrain knocks that a standard static MOT tester might not fully capture.
