Engine + drivetrain
Mk3 2.0 TDCi is the airport private-hire mainstay; Mk4 2.0 EcoBlue diesel and EcoBoost petrol both bought. Manual or auto, both fine.
Ford Galaxy specialist
The Ford Galaxy 7-seater, Mk3 diesel or Mk4. Valued by a real person who knows the car. Offer in two hours, paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.

The short answer
Your Galaxy offer comes down to four things: which generation you have, the engine and DPF condition, your licence status, and the body. The Mk4 (2015 onward) is fully ULEZ-compliant on both the EcoBlue diesel and EcoBoost petrol, so it holds the strongest private-hire money. The Mk3 2.0 TDCi is the airport-PHV workhorse and still sells well out of London, even with DPF or injector history priced in honestly. A live private-hire plate from any UK council adds licensed-trade demand, and lapsed plates are fine. Big motorway mileage is normal-shape here, working airport Galaxys routinely pass 250,000 miles, so we price on engine and emissions condition, not a cap. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours. Free UK collection, paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, no fees for sellers.

A live private-hire plate from any UK council adds licensed-trade demand, especially the airport trades. Lapsed or surrendered plates fine.
Diesel injectors and the DPF are the main red flags. Documented intervals lift the offer; we still buy with issues, priced honestly.

Yes. We know what those costs are and price them in honestly. Bring any recent diagnostic reports + the most recent oil-change record for the firmest possible offer.

Yes. We pay the lender direct and pay you the equity left over. Bring the settlement letter on collection day. No fees to you, and no penalty for selling under finance.
A diesel Galaxy needs Euro 6 for the London ULEZ and the other clean-air zones: the Mk3 (2015 on) generally has it, most Mk2 diesels do not, and the EcoBoost petrol clears the Euro 4 petrol standard either way. Non-compliant cars are still bought. Check your registration on the zone's checker.
Selling to us, whatever you drive
