MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Ford Galaxy (MF53 CHL) between December 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 20 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (33 issues), Brakes (21 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Suspension (14 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 86 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front brake disc contaminated by grease (3.5.1h)”; “Nearside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”; “Front Steering rack insecure (2.2.B.1a)”.
