Why does my Ford Galaxy engine keep overheating?

I just bought a used Ford Galaxy and after driving for a few minutes, the engine temperature starts to rise. What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

It's possible that there could be an issue with your cooling system. You should check your coolant levels and make sure there are no leaks. Also, check the condition of your radiator and hoses.

Another potential cause could be a faulty thermostat. This can cause your engine to overheat as it regulates the temperature. You may need to replace it if it is malfunctioning.

You should also check your engine oil levels and make sure they are at the appropriate level. Low oil can cause your engine to overheat and lead to more serious issues.
