VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2011 · 1.7L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on February 3 2026 at 178,039 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of inconsistency. While the history shows instances where the vehicle failed immediate inspections, the clean sheets from the two most recent tests indicate that the current owner is addressing identified faults promptly and maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. Between August 2023 and February 2025, the car covered 22,455 miles, indicating a period of higher usage during that eighteen-month interval. The subsequent 14,952 miles were covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally prevents internal components like the drivetrain and suspension seals from moisture-related issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension and braking system, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Although the recent tests were clean, the previous failures in 2023 and 2025 suggest that the vehicle is prone to items that require immediate attention before testing. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity, particularly around sills and wheel arches, is essential to ensure that corrosion has not progressed despite the recent successful MOT passes.
