2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · LT64 TPZ

The 2014 Ford Galaxy is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a trend of improvement rather than deterioration. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles, which suggests that while the issue may have resolved in the most recent inspection, it remains a potential concern for future driving. The vehicle has not failed again since the 2024-06-01 test, yet the 2024-05-23 failure at 137,303 miles indicates that the brakes were the most frequently inspected component over the last two years. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap between the 2024-06-01 and 2024-05-23 tests, with the vehicle only passing at 137,311 miles. This creates a gap of approximately 1,000 miles, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and likely reflects a lack of regular maintenance or a period of inactivity. The 11,443 miles per year average suggests that the vehicle has been driven for a long time, but the data is sparse enough that the exact cause of the gap remains unclear without more detailed inspection. Given the recurring failure of the brakes and the lack of recent data on suspension or drivetrain issues, the buyer should inspect the rear brakes and wheels in person. The binding condition from the September 2023 test warrants a careful check of the brake pads and rotors, as this is a critical component for safety. Additionally, the vehicle's age and mileage suggest a history of potential wear on the suspension bushings and coil springs, which could indicate that the vehicle has been driven for over a decade without regular servicing.
