2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · GC14 NTF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on July 8, 2025 at 50,836 miles resulted in a pass despite notices for pitted rear brake discs and defective lighting and reflectors. While the vehicle has consistently passed, the recurring failures related to minor electrical and tyre issues suggest that the previous owners only addressed faults once they threatened an MOT rather than performing regular preventative inspections. At 50,836 miles, this 2014 Galaxy has clocked exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,236 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of mechanical wear. Data shows that between the June 2023 test at 46,432 miles and the July 2024 test at 49,077 miles, the car covered under 3,000 miles, which explains the offside front tyre showing perishing and cracking due to age rather than distance. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system closely, as the 2025 test noted pitted and scored rear discs which indicate the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing surface corrosion to degrade the metal surfaces. The history of failing LED strips and position lamps across multiple years suggests potential wiring issues or bulb housing failures that are prone to moisture ingress. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls is essential, as these components are prone to dry rot and cracking when a vehicle is not used frequently.
