2012 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · FG62 AEF

The vehicle appears roadworthy based on its most recent MOT pass on 30 August 2024. The maintenance trend is stable, as the record shows a consistent history of passing tests without any listed defects or advisories. This suggests the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage data contains significant discrepancies that raise concerns regarding the accuracy of the odometer. The vehicle recorded 133,844 miles in September 2022 and increased to 151,746 miles by September 2023. However, the most recent entry on 30 August 2024 lists the mileage at 127,898 miles, which is lower than the figures recorded in both 2022 and 2023. This reversal in mileage is a red flag that suggests either a clerical error during the MOT process or potential odometer tampering. A buyer must verify the actual mileage through service records or a physical inspection of the interior wear. While the MOT history is clean of technical failures, the lack of any advisories over several years is unusual for a 14 year old vehicle. You should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components typically degrade at this age regardless of a clean test sheet. Check the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Since the DVSA record provides no data on wear items like tyre tread or brake pad thickness, these consumables require a manual check to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
