2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · FN64 VVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service approach. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 114,935 miles, the car failed immediately prior due to lighting issues and brake wear that have since been rectified. The trend shows a recurring pattern where mechanical defects are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold, rather than being replaced during scheduled maintenance intervals. At 114,935 miles over several years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an MPV of this age. The records show consistent use, with roughly 14,400 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 11,100 miles covered in the final year. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle, but it also places consistent demand on wear-related components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these areas are repeated points of failure. The front brake discs have been flagged as pitted or scored across multiple test years, suggesting either low-quality parts or neglected maintenance. Furthermore, there is a history of corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar and wear on suspension arm bushes, which indicates that the undercarriage components are beginning to succumb to age and road salt degradation. Finally, the buyer must verify the current condition of the tyres and driveshaft. Previous tests noted uneven tyre wear and deteriorated CV boots, which can lead to alignment issues and further mechanical strain. Given the recent failure for headlamp aim, ensuring the vehicle electronics have been properly calibrated and that all lighting elements are fully functional is essential before purchase.
