2018 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · FM68 SKK

A history of consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which most recently achieved a clean pass on 04 August 2026. While the majority of the recorded tests show no defects, a single failure occurred in October 2024 regarding an inoperative engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp, alongside a minor windscreen damage advisory in September 2025. The overall trend suggests a stable mechanical profile, though the appearance of a tyre wear advisory in the 2025 test indicates that certain consumable components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The recorded mileage of 62,592 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,824 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic driving and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage motorway use or, conversely, been left stationary for extended periods. Mechanically, this level of usage implies that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage wear thresholds, consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will be subject to standard age-related degradation. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the offside front tyre, which was noted as worn on the inside edge during the September 2025 inspection. This specific type of wear pattern often points to underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull to one side or a wandering sensation at cruising speeds, which could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment or indicate worn suspension bushings or ball joints. Furthermore, given the previous failure involving the engine malfunction indicator lamp, any dashboard warning lights should be closely monitored during the initial start-up and throughout the drive. While the 2026 test was clear, ensuring that all electronic diagnostic systems are communicating correctly is a prudent step. A thorough inspection of the windscreen is also advised to ensure that the previously noted damage has not progressed or created any structural vulnerabilities in the glass.
