Engine + drivetrain
Mk3 (2006-2015) 2.0 TDCi is the airport-PHV mainstay, the 140 bhp Powershift especially. Mk4 (2015+) 2.0 EcoBlue diesel + 2.0 EcoBoost petrol both bought. Manual or auto, both fine.
Airport-PHV specialist
Sell my Ford Galaxy. Trade prices on the airport-run workhorse.
The airport-PHV 7-seater. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Birmingham licensed trade. Mk3 diesel or Mk4 ULEZ-compliant, live or lapsed plate. We sell to active PHV operators, not a generalist forecourt guess.
What we look for
Four things that shape your Galaxy offer.
Licensing badge
Live PHV plate from any UK council adds licensed-trade demand, especially Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle airport-PHV trades. Lapsed or surrendered plates fine, we plate-strip free.
DPF + injectors
Mk3 + Mk4 2.0 TDCi diesel injectors and DPF are the main service red flags. Documented intervals + a recent regen reading shape the offer up; we still buy with issues, priced honestly.
Mileage in context
Working airport-PHV Galaxys routinely cover 250,000+ miles on motorway shifts. We price on engine + DPF condition, not a mileage cap.
Generation breakdown
