2021 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · KO21 PDU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 50,190 miles passed, the tester identified pitted and scored brake discs along with thin rear brake pads. This follows a pattern from May 2024 where front pads were also flagged as thin, indicating that the owner is delaying brake component replacements until they approach failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression from 37,769 miles in May 2024 to 43,779 miles in May 2025, followed by another 6,411-mile interval leading to the most recent test at 50,190 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber components and seals.. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking hardware and tyres. The presence of scored and pitted discs in 2026 suggests the metal surfaces have reached the end of their functional life and likely require immediate replacement alongside the pads. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked against the current tyre set for uneven wear. The 2026 report also notes child seats prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belts, so the buyer must manually verify the integrity and tension of the webbing for fraying or mechanical damage.
