2012 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · LR12 AFE

The 2012 Ford Galaxy’s most recent MOT on 2021-12-24 at 161,553 miles showed no defects, but the prior test on 2021-12-22 at 161,540 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential lapses in maintenance or procedural errors. Subsequent tests in 2019-2020 show a pattern of passing and failing without defect details, indicating an unstable maintenance history. The vehicle’s roadworthiness cannot be confirmed without further inspection, as the data lacks clarity on resolved issues. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging 11,540 miles annually since 2012. The 2019-12-23 test at 144,077 miles passed, followed by a failure in 2020-12-30 at 152,586 miles, suggesting possible wear in components like brakes or suspension. The 2021-01-05 test at 152,587 miles passed, but the subsequent failure two days later at 161,540 miles raises questions about intermittent faults. The absence of defect records complicates assessment, though the vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical usage for its model. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, including worn bushes or coil springs, and inspect brake systems for uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrants scrutiny due to the car’s age. The lack of recent MOT data means critical issues may have gone unrecorded, necessitating a professional inspection to confirm the condition of high-mileage systems like the drivetrain and exhaust.
