2007 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · FD07 AEO

The most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 passed with zero defects recorded at 143,324 miles. That test sits roughly eight months old as of today, so the history is current and reassuring. Across the five recorded tests from November 2022 to December 2025, the Galaxy passed cleanly every time. The single failure on 27 November 2023 shows no recorded defect code, and the vehicle passed again on that same date, which points to a minor issue rectified immediately or a re-test after rectification. The overall trend is stable and shows no escalating mechanical or structural faults. The mileage pattern backs this up. The car has averaged about 7,543 miles per year across its nineteen-year life, and the recent annual intervals sit slightly below that: 6,446 miles between late 2022 and late 2023, then 6,103 miles, then 5,588 miles into the December 2025 test. That is steady, moderate use with no lengthy standing periods and no unusually rapid accumulation. Annual testing has been uninterrupted, which indicates the vehicle has remained in active service throughout. A clean advisory-free record at this age is a positive sign, but it does not prove a car is fault free. At 143,324 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake discs are consumable items that wear progressively, and a Ford Galaxy of this era can suffer from binding calipers and corrosion in the sills, floorpan, and rear axle mounting points. Exhaust corrosion and tyre condition are also typical concerns on a nineteen-year-old car. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage should cover those specific areas, along with a check of the clutch and gearbox, since the MOT record carries no information on those components.
