The FORD GALAXY (1995-00) 5DR MPV 2.3 LX 7 SEAT is a large, five-door people carrier rather than a hatchback or SUV. Its seven-seat layout and practical, upright shape put it firmly in the family MPV market, where it offered more passenger space and flexibility than an ordinary family car. This 2.3-litre petrol LX is suited to families needing room for children, passengers and holiday luggage, or anyone who regularly shares lifts. Its key appeal is carrying up to seven people in a single vehicle; the Galaxy’s roomy cabin and adaptable seating made it a familiar alternative to the Volkswagen Sharan and SEAT Alhambra. mycarcheck.com has two checks for this version, so figures are indicative, not a market-wide picture: average recorded private-sale value is £300, mileage 152,000, annual use 4,000 miles and five previous keepers. This points to an older, budget-priced people carrier; inspect condition and history carefully before buying.
