2011 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · LR61 AEN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2022-10-03 at 171,030 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the preceding test on 2022-10-01 at 171,028 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved between tests. The absence of recorded faults in the 2020-2019 tests indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past six years, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears intact, but the gap between MOTs raises questions about its current condition. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of ~11,400 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. Notable jumps include a 12,724-mile increase between 2018-12-20 (150,964 miles) and 2020-12-05 (164,034 miles), which may reflect periods of higher usage or infrequent testing. The lack of detailed defect reports in the record limits insight into wear patterns, though the absence of critical failures suggests the owner prioritized basic compliance over proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in older vehicles. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these components degrade over time without regular scrutiny. Given the extended interval since the last MOT, verifying the exhaust system’s integrity and structural rust in the chassis is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s long-term reliability.
