Our Verdict
Recommended. This vehicle presents a str
Prioritise verifying the maintenance performed following the November 2024 MOT. That test highlighted thin front brake pads and multiple tyres that were either worn close to the legal limit or contained nails; you should confirm these items were replaced.
Check the service history for evidence of oil changes and filter replacements, as low-mileage diesel engines can still require regular servicing to maintain engine health. Ensure that any aftermarket additions to the undertray, which prevented a full inspection in March 2024, are not obstructing essential components.
Equipped with a 1997cc diesel engine, this Galaxy is designed for efficiency over longer distances, though its actual usage has been low. Expect moderate annual road tax and insurance costs typical for a large family MPV of this engine size.
Maintenance costs should be standard for the model, though the MOT history suggests a need for regular tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Closely inspect the current condition of all four tyres and the front brake pads, as these were recurring issues in the 2023 and 2024 MOT records. Given that suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model across 75,718 analysed vehicles, have a mechanic check the suspension components for wear or play.
Verify the fitment of the undertray mentioned in the March 2024 MOT to ensure it allows for a proper inspection of the chassis and engine. Finally, check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are another common failure point for the Galaxy model.
This blue 2018 Ford Galaxy diesel has recorded 31,644 miles as of its most recent MOT in November 2025. While it has passed all five recorded tests, the history shows a pattern of advisories related to tyre wear and brake pads. Overall, it has been used far less than the average vehicle of this model.
The Ford Galaxy has an average MOT pass rate of 76%, with tyres and suspension arms being the most frequent causes of failure.
