2013 Ford Galaxy 2.0L Diesel · WP13 KMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recurring pattern of suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in July 2024 at 120,527 miles resulted in a pass, it identified a defective rear exhaust mounting and worn bushes on both rear suspension arms. This follows advisories noted in the previous year, suggesting that while faults are being identified, they are not necessarily being proactively addressed. At 120,527 miles, the Galaxy has averaged approximately 9,270 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an age-appropriate family MPV. The records show consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between May 2022 and August 2023, and another 5,500 miles between August 2023 and July 2024. This steady accumulation suggests a regular use pattern rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the trailing arm bushes have been flagged as worn in three consecutive testing cycles since 2022. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust mounting system identified recently. Furthermore, the history notes past issues with deteriorated front CV boots in 2021; the buyer should verify these have been replaced and show no signs of grease leakage or rubber cracking around the driveshaft.
