Should I buy a Ford Galaxy to replace my Ford Mondeo estate?
I am thinking of changing my Ford Mondeo estate for a more recent Ford Galaxy auto. Not more than four years old and, say, not more than 30,000 miles with full service history. Which is the top spec for the Galaxy, the Titanium X? Any particular advice I should be aware of?

The top-spec Ford Galaxy is the Titanium X – highlights over the Galaxy Titanium include a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, 17-inch alloy wheels and a reversing camera. It's a good choice if you need a big car, although most are diesels. Be careful about buying a low-mileage diesel as it might be hiding issues such as a blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF) if it's mainly been used around town. Many are used for private hire (i.e. taxis), too. A SEAT Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan could be a good alternative. Also consider the slightly smaller Volkswagen Touran – it's a very versatile MPV.
