2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · HV64 EEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 100,143 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding significant tyre wear and structural cracking. This pattern, combined with previous failures for basic lighting and thinning brake components, suggests that the previous owners only addressed issues when they threatened a failure rather than performing routine maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle used for moderate annual long-distance travel, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 8,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 8,400 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This regularity indicates the car does not sit for long periods, yet the specific nature of the faults suggests that the mechanical health of consumable components is being neglected between these annual testing intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the wheel geometry and suspension. The recurring reports of tyres wearing heavily on the inner edges across the 2024 and 2026 tests indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that will continue to cause premature tyre failure. Furthermore, the braking system requires a close look; the 2024 failure flagged thin rear inner brake pads, and the buyer should check for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the system has been properly serviced since that initial failure.
