2014 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · MY11 RON

The vehicle shows a consistent history of passing tests, but recent data indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The most recent MOT in November 2025 at 139,983 miles flagged advisories for thin front brake pads and tyres nearing the legal depth limit with uneven edge wear. This mirrors a pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they reach failure or critical thresholds. While the vehicle maintained clean records through 2023 and 2024, the return of brake and tyre wear issues suggests that the owner neglects to monitor consumable-related items between the annual inspections. At 139,983 miles, this Ford Galaxy has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old estate. The mileage progression is steady, with annual intervals of 8,000 to 12,000 miles recorded between tests. However, the recurring mention of inner tyre wear, specifically noted in 2020 at 88,530 miles and 2018 at 57,382 miles, points toward persistent issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. These mechanical faults, if left unaddressed, lead to premature tyre degradation and increased operating costs. The record reveals frequent minor electrical and lighting failures, such as failed bulbs and non-conforming plates, which are easily rectified. There are no instances of structural corrosion or membrane failures in the history, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension bushes for excessive play given the history of uneven tyre wear. Given the current advisories for thin front brake pads, a thorough inspection of the discs and calipers is required to ensure they have not been scored or damaged by the prolonged operation of worn material.
