2012 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · LR12 AEZ

The 2012 Ford Galaxy presents a roadworthy status supported by a pass on 30 June 2025 at 256,021 miles, a test sitting roughly twelve months before the current date of 20 July 2026. The maintenance trend is stable: five recorded tests from March 2022 to June 2025 show no defects or advisories. The DVSA log also lists a failure on that same June 2025 date with no defects recorded, an anomaly that reflects clerical or procedural mismatch rather than mechanical condition but requires verification against the official certificate. Mileage stands at 256,021 against a fourteen-year lifespan, equating to about 18,300 miles per year and marking the vehicle as high use for its age. Recent annual increments tell a moderate story. Between 17 March 2022 at 244,214 miles and 28 March 2023 at 248,831 miles the odometer advanced 4,617 miles. By 4 April 2024 at 252,222 miles it added 3,391 miles, and to the June 2025 test a further 3,799 miles accrued. The record displays no testing gaps beyond thirteen months, implying previous owners kept the car examined on schedule. A clean yet sparse ledger suggests basic upkeep was not skipped at test points, though it cannot evidence fluid changes or consumable replacements between tests. A buyer must still commission a physical inspection of high-mileage components the MOT did not flag. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but the underbody, sills, and subframes of a Galaxy with 256,021 miles demand close scrutiny for rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll linkages likely harbour rubber degradation or play invisible on a clear sheet. The buyer should measure brake discs and calipers for wear, scoring, or binding, and check the drivetrain for oil leakage or bearing noise. Tyres and wiper blades may show age-related wear despite absence of advisories. The duplicated fail and pass on 30 June 2025 must be reconciled with DVSA before funds transfer.
