    Possible problems are described in our blog https://www.autodoc.co.uk/info/problems-with-the-ford-s-max (S-Max and Galaxy differ only slightly in terms of bodywork).

    The 2012 Ford Galaxy is a solid choice among the best 7 seater cars in the UK. It offers excellent space, comfort, and practicality for families. Reliability is generally good, with fuel efficiency around 35-45 mpg depending on the engine. Long journeys are comfortable due to supportive seats and a smooth ride. Common issues to watch for include turbo failures on diesel models, dual-mass flywheel problems, and potential electrical gremlins. Regular maintenance is key to longevity. Overall, it's a versatile and capable family car, but do consider alternatives like the Seat Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan for comparison.

    Mate, I've had my 2012 Galaxy for a few years now, and it's been a right trooper! Perfect for hauling the kids and their mates to footie practice. Just watch out for the cup holders โ€“ they're about as useful as a chocolate teapot. But hey, at least you can fit the whole squad in there!

    If you're looking at best 7 seater cars UK used under 10k, the Galaxy is a decent shout. But have you considered the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer? Picked one up last year, and it's been brilliant. Plus, it's easier on the wallet when it comes to parts and servicing. Just my two pence!

    Listen, if you want the best 7 seater cars UK used automatic, you can't go wrong with a Toyota Verso. Had mine for yonks, and it's never let me down. Plus, it's got more gadgets than Bond's Aston Martin. Well, maybe not quite, but you get the drift!

    Oi, don't forget about the Kia Carens! It's one of the best cheap 7 seater cars UK, and you get that cracking 7-year warranty. Perfect for when the little ones decide to test how indestructible the interior really is. Ask me how I know... ๐Ÿ˜…

    If you're after the best 7 seater hybrid cars UK, might I suggest the Lexus RX L? It's a bit posh, but oh so comfy. It's like driving your living room, only with better fuel economy and fewer arguments over the remote!
