Our Verdict
Exercise caution when considering this F
Given the high mileage and the documented oil leak that has appeared in every MOT since 106,205 miles, you should negotiate the price downward to account for potential engine sealing or gasket repairs. Ask the seller for specific details on what was done to address the oil leak noted in the July 2026 test, as the undertray was described as saturated.
Check the service history thoroughly for evidence of regular oil changes, which is critical for a high-mileage 2.0L diesel engine. You should also verify that the recent tyre replacements (addressing the 3mm wear and cracking noted in 2026) were carried out with quality brands, as the previous set showed uneven wear patterns.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Galaxy is geared towards long-distance motorway use, which likely explains the high annual mileage. Expect relatively efficient fuel economy, but be mindful of potential AdBlue or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) maintenance costs common in this engine class.
Insurance groups for the Galaxy vary, but the 1997cc engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage, particularly regarding suspension components and tyres, which are known failure points for this model.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the engine bay for signs of active oil leaks. The MOT history specifically mentions an oil leak that was 'not excessive' in 2024 and 2025, but by July 2026, the undertray was 'saturated,' indicating the leak may be worsening.
Examine the condition of all tyres and the suspension. The 2026 MOT highlighted uneven tyre wear (3mm on edges) and cracking/perishing on the nearside rear, which can indicate alignment issues or age-related rubber degradation. Finally, test all exterior lighting, including the registration plate and position lamps, as these have been recurring failure points in the vehicle's recent history.
This 2018 silver Ford Galaxy has covered 154,907 miles in approximately eight years, which is substantially higher than the model average of 8,676 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically an oil leak noted in three consecutive tests since 2024. While it passed its most recent MOT in July 2026, the record indicates frequent failures related to lighting, tyres, and fluid leaks.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
