Hi I'm new to the forum.

Need your kind assistance 

1.Trying to choose a used low mileage Ford Galaxy, need your help please. 

2.Safest choice seems to be a pre 2018 Manual with a regular tdci engine ( to avoid ecoblue wet belt )

3.Would prefer automatic.

Is it safer to go with very low mileage powershift ?

Or go with newer 8 speed torque converter but risk ecoblue wet belt diesel  ?

4. If vehicle is low mileage, if I get the powershift serviced every 37k, am I likely to have no issues ? I have heard about them stalling juddering etc etc

5. If I go with ecoblue engine

Does the Galaxy suffer from the same issues as in the Transit ? or have they improved the belt for the Galaxy as I haven't read the Galaxy or Smax having ecoblue issues, only mainly the transit ?

6. Finally would really like to have pre collision assist if possible, this seems to have been standard since 2019 ?? but on autotrader for example they don't list it in the specs even on after 2019 models, so it's hard to determine which vehicles have it. Did many of the pre 2019 have this feature?

Many thanks in advance for your help and apologies if some things have been covered in other threads, I did search but didn't  find much on newer Galaxies.
