Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- AdBlue / NOX System FaultsModerate
The AdBlue injector or NOX sensors on the Euro 6 EcoBlue diesels frequently fail, putting the car into a countdown mode where it will refuse to start once the miles reach zero.
- Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) WearSerious
Like the S-Max, the Galaxy heavy body accelerates DMF wear especially on cars used for family hauling or towing. Symptoms include rattling at idle that stops when the clutch is pressed, vibration through the pedals and judder on pull-away.
- DPF Clogging on Urban ModelsModerate
The Galaxy is a heavy car often used for school runs and short trips. The DPF clogs faster in these conditions and regeneration fails if the car cannot reach motorway speeds for long enough.
