2013 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · SN13 YCL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 107,054 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. The failure revealed critical issues including thin rear brake pads, scored discs, and a corroded coil spring. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they cause a test failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance on consumable components. At 107,054 miles over 13 years, the Galaxy averages approximately 8,235 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a family MPV. The record shows consistent mileage, with roughly 7,100 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 9,300 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals and brake components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension system, as corrosion on the rear coil springs appeared in both June 2024 and June 2025. Despite the 2025 pass, the presence of corrosion indicates a risk of structural failure of the springs over time. The June 2025 failure also highlighted worn rear brakes and thin tyres, which were likely ignored until they reached the legal limit. Check for uneven tyre wear across the axles and ensure the previously noted cut on the offside front tyre has been replaced with a high-quality unit rather than a cheap alternative.
