Our Verdict
Strongly advise against purchasing this
Potential buyers should be aware that this vehicle is likely unroadworthy. The volume of structural failures recorded in the most recent MOT—specifically the seat belt anchorages and sub-frame mountings—suggests a level of rust that requires professional welding and extensive bodywork.
If you are considering this car, do not rely on verbal assurances. Demand evidence of comprehensive structural repairs via VAT invoices. Negotiate the price heavily to account for the cost of a new steering rack, exhaust system, and extensive chassis welding, though the cost of these repairs may exceed the vehicle's market value.
The 2.0L diesel engine provides a balance of power and economy suitable for a large MPV, but maintenance costs for a 2007 model are typically higher due to age-related wear. You will need to budget for standard diesel fuel costs, road tax, and insurance for a vehicle of this size.
Beyond routine servicing, the maintenance budget for this specific car must be significantly increased to address the ongoing corrosion issues and the suspension failures noted in the MOT history. Annual running costs will be inflated by the necessity of structural repairs to keep the vehicle legal.
The primary focus must be the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly identifies severe corrosion on the front and rear sub-frames, the rear floor pan, and the seat belt anchorage areas on the sills. Use a torch to inspect these areas for 'perforation' or 'significant reduction in structural strength' as noted in the 2025 record.
Additionally, check the steering rack for play and the exhaust system for leaks, both of which were flagged as major failures. Inspect the coil springs and suspension arm mounting points, as these have a history of corrosion and failure on this specific vehicle, mirroring the wider model trend of suspension arm issues.
This 2007 black Ford Galaxy 2.0L diesel has recorded mileage of 85,807, which is significantly lower than the model average. However, its MOT history shows a severe decline in structural integrity, culminating in a comprehensive failure in December 2025. The vehicle currently suffers from extensive corrosion across the chassis, sills, and suspension mountings.
The Ford Galaxy has an average MOT pass rate of 76%, with common failure points typically involving tyres and suspension arms.
