2020 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · EX70 WFR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness of Pass at a 2026-06-17 test, though the MOT record indicates a significant deterioration in condition over the last two years. The most recent inspection in August 2025 at 43,839 miles failed, specifically flagging thin brake pads, while the previous test in August 2024 at 32,169 miles also failed due to near-side rear tyre wear. This suggests the issue has not been resolved but rather accumulated, indicating a worsening maintenance trend rather than a stable one. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap between the two most recent tests, with the vehicle only having 1,670 miles accumulated between the 2024 and 2025 inspections. This lack of accumulation suggests that the vehicle was not used for heavy driving in the last two years, which contradicts the expectation that such a gap would reflect wear on suspension or brakes. However, the sheer volume of miles over the last two years implies that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on consumables and structural components, such as brake discs and suspension bushings, which are critical for roadworthiness. Given the recurring faults of thin brake pads and worn tyres, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and the condition of suspension and brakes. The history indicates that the brakes have been inspected and found to be worn thin, but the tyre wear is close to the legal limit. A thorough visual inspection of the rear axle and suspension is required to determine if the structural integrity of the chassis has been compromised and if the brakes need to be replaced before the vehicle can be legally driven again.
