2009 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · FL59 DWW

The 2009 Ford Galaxy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 127,885 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass twelve months earlier at 117,774 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent statutory compliance by the previous keeper. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,523 miles per year. The records show 103,486 miles in November 2022, rising to 111,243 by November 2023, then 117,774 by August 2024, and 127,885 by August 2025. This reflects steady annual use of around 8,000 to 10,000 miles with no sudden accumulation or prolonged dormancy. The sparse but clean MOT sequence suggests basic upkeep was maintained, though the two entries logged on 22 August 2024 at 117,772 and 117,774 miles, one a fail with no defects and one a pass, point to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is reassuring, yet seventeen years of service can conceal underbody rust not captured in a pass result. Verify the condition of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The Galaxy's history implies a previous owner who met legal test requirements without neglect, but no evidence of proactive mechanical investment beyond statutory minimums. Given the clean record, focus any pre-purchase checks on wear items appropriate to a high-mileage MPV rather than outstanding MOT faults.
