2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · HJ64 OBO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 recorded two tyre-related defects: both offside rear and nearside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. These issues are minor but indicate ongoing tyre degradation, which could signal improper inflation, alignment problems, or general wear from regular use. The vehicle has no other recorded defects in this test, but the tyre condition suggests attention is needed. The 2024-11-28 MOT revealed a more serious failure, including two non-functional front position lamps, a cut tyre, and insecure exhaust systems. These issues point to potential electrical faults, structural damage, and poor maintenance. A subsequent MOT on 2024-12-07 addressed some concerns (a registration plate lamp defect) but did not resolve the exhaust or tyre issues, implying repairs may have been incomplete or temporary. The pattern of defects shows a mix of recurring and isolated issues. Tyre wear and exhaust problems reappeared, while electrical faults (position lamps) were repeated. The vehicle’s condition appears to have stabilized since the 2024 failure, as the latest MOT had no major issues beyond tyres. However, the 2024 failure and subsequent repairs suggest a history of neglect or inadequate maintenance, which could indicate broader mechanical risks.
