2010 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · GU60 YLS

The Ford Galaxy passed its most recent MOT on 21 December 2022 at 261,722 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable maintenance trend. The test history shows no recurring advisories or failures beyond a single abandoned test the day prior. Overall roadworthiness appears acceptable on paper for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, though the absence of fault data limits deeper mechanical insight. The recorded mileage stands at 261,722 miles against a December 2022 test, averaging roughly 16,358 miles per year since 2010. This is high for the age and points to sustained motorway or fleet-style use rather than occasional private running. A notable gap exists between the 18 December 2021 pass and the 21 December 2022 pass, with only 4,300 miles added in that twelve-month span, a drop from the prior year's implied usage. The 17 December 2021 failure at 257,422 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting the vehicle was presented prematurely or the tester aborted the examination before completion. Given the clean MOT outcomes, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake disc wear, as high annual mileage accelerates fatigue in those areas even when not flagged. The 2010 chassis is prone to underbody rust and worn rear coil springs by this age. The single non-defect failure in December 2021 implies administrative slack rather than mechanical neglect. Previous keepers maintained basic test compliance, but the sparse record offers no evidence of proactive component replacement ahead of failure.
