2011 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · P21 LAP

The vehicle currently holds an unroadworthy status, showing a worsening trend in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 92,748 miles resulted in a significant failure involving multiple structural, lighting, and suspension defects. While the vehicle passed in June 2025, the progression from worn suspension bushes to excessive wear on the nearside rear arm pin indicates that previous advisories were not properly addressed, leading to a cascade of failures across several critical safety systems. At 92,748 miles over 15 years, the Galaxy reflects an average usage of approximately 6,183 miles per year. This low mileage is typical for an older family MPV, but the data suggests that low mileage has not prevented environmental degradation. Between the June 2024 test at 82,001 miles and the June 2026 failure, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles, during which time the condition of the braking system and the rear suspension assembly deteriorated significantly. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody for structural integrity, as the June 2026 record flagged corrosion on the rear springs, subframe, and inner arches. This type of oxidative damage often leads to expensive structural repairs if not monitored. Furthermore, the recurring history of worn suspension bushes on both nearside and offside arms suggests the entire rear suspension geometry is nearing the end of its life. The tester also noted a broken brake pad mounting in 2025, which points to a lack of preventative maintenance on the braking components. The electrical system also requires attention due to water ingress in the nearside front fog light cluster and repeated failures of the position lamps. Given the corroded exhaust and insecure mounting noted in multiple recent tests, the entire exhaust system should be checked for thinning and structural rust. This vehicle requires immediate investment to rectify the accumulated faults before it can be considered a reliable roadworthy purchase.
