GN07 AEC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Ford Galaxy (GN07 AEC) between November 2023 and October 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 16 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (28 issues), Brakes (18 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 75 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”; “Offside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect (4.1.2 (c))”.

Our Verdict
Avoid this 2007 Ford Galaxy unless you a
Walk away unless the price is very low and you have evidence of recent rectification work. The 2024 failure listed a seriously weakened front brake disc, track rod end with excessive play, brake fluid below minimum, black smoke on acceleration, and headlamp output severely reduced — these are not minor items, and the same vehicle passed just three days later, which raises questions about what was actually repaired versus simply reset. Any prospective purchase should be conditional on an independent inspection focusing on the front and rear sub-frames (flagged as corroded/modified in three consecutive tests), the steering rack free play (noted in 2024 and 2025), and the modified rear lower suspension arms. Service history is not visible in MOT data, so demand documentary proof of timing belt, clutch, turbo, and dual-mass flywheel work — these are known high-cost items on the 2.0 TDCi Galaxy. Budget realistically: a brake overhaul, tyres, headlamp units, and corrosion remediation could easily run £1,500–£2,500, and that is before any engine or transmission work.
If you are set on this generation of Galaxy, consider a 2.0-litre petrol or the later 2.0 TDCi with the DW10C engine rather than the earlier 16-valve unit, and look for examples with a continuous MOT record showing fewer than ten advisories per test. The vehicle pictured here has averaged over 20 advisory items per recent test, which is a clear indicator of cumulative wear.
The 2.0 TDCi diesel Galaxy returns roughly 38–42 mpg in mixed use, dropping to around 30 mpg under load — relevant given this is a seven-seat people carrier often used for towing or carrying passengers. Road tax for a 2007 diesel of this engine size falls in a high band, and from 2025 onwards many older diesels are subject to Clean Air Zone charges in cities including London, Birmingham, and Bristol, which can add a meaningful annual cost. Insurance group is moderate (around group 18–20), but premiums for drivers of any age tend to rise sharply on seven-seat MPVs. Maintenance costs are the real concern: parts such as front brake discs, track rod ends, and suspension bushes for this Galaxy are modestly priced, but corrosion repairs to sub-frames and chassis sections — flagged on every recorded test — are labour-intensive and disproportionately expensive. Realistically, expect £1,200–£1,800 per year in maintenance and consumables on a Galaxy of this age and condition, on top of fuel and tax.
Start with a thorough underneath inspection on a ramp. The MOT history flags corrosion on the cab/chassis mounting areas in both 2024 and 2025, plus corroded front and rear sub-frames across three tests, and corroded rear suspension arms — tap these areas with a hammer and listen for dull, dead sounds indicating advanced corrosion. Next, check the front brakes and steering: the 2024 failure cited a seriously weakened front brake disc and an offside front track rod end with excessive play, and steering rack free play was flagged in both 2024 and 2025 tests. Lift the bonnet and look for oil leaks (noted in 2024), check brake fluid level and colour, and confirm the headlamps are secure with correctly aimed beams — the 2024 failure listed both insecure headlamps and severely reduced light output.
On the road, listen for clonking from the worn coil springs (flagged across all four corners in 2024) and any binding or pulling from the offside rear service brake. Cold-start the engine and watch for black smoke under acceleration — a 2024 failure item that suggests injector, turbo, or EGR issues on this 2.0 TDCi. Finally, inspect all tyres including the spare, check the rear sub-frame for any aftermarket repair plates, and confirm the parking brake lever operates with reasonable firmness given it has been flagged as worn/defective in every recorded test.
This is a March 2007 Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi in grey, showing 149,038 miles on its most recent MOT. The recorded MOT history covers three tests over 2023–2025, and two of those (October 2024 and October 2025) resulted in failures — the 2025 test was retaken on the same day and passed. The advisory and failure lists are extensive and overwhelmingly corrosion-related, with sub-frames, suspension arms, springs, shock absorbers, and chassis all flagged. Mileage of around 4,500 miles per year over the recorded period is well below the 8,710-mile Ford Galaxy model average, but the structural and mechanical concerns far outweigh the lower-than-average use.
The Ford Galaxy achieves a 76.0% MOT pass rate across 75,677 vehicles analysed, with the most common failures being headlamp, suspension arm, and drive shaft joint issues — patterns consistent with this individual vehicle's record.
