2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · BX63 AAK

The 2026‑05‑11 MOT at 59,639 miles records a failure because the headlamp aim is obviously incorrect and a front oil leak is present, while a simultaneous pass on the same date shows the vehicle was considered roadworthy despite these defects; the recurring tyre wear on both rear edges and the persistent oil leak indicate a maintenance trend that has not improved. The mileage has risen steadily from 14,228 miles recorded in May 2016 to 59,639 miles in May 2026, a gain of 45,411 miles over ten years, or roughly 4,500 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old Zafira but shows regular use rather than long periods of standing, with no major gaps in the log. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake pads for thickness below 1.5 mm, examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing and inner‑edge wear that may signal suspension or alignment issues, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or binding, verify the source and severity of the front oil leak, confirm the headlamp aim is correct, and look for any structural rust or exhaust corrosion that could affect integrity. Although the mileage is modest for its age, the repeated tyre and brake deficiencies and the recent MOT failure suggest the vehicle requires thorough inspection and remedial work before purchase can be considered reliable.
