VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2006 · 1.9L Diesel

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 20 July 2023 at 149,164 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that point. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows administrative failures on 19 July 2023 and 26 July 2022 at identical mileages with no faults listed, indicating paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Three consecutive annual passes from July 2021 to July 2023 with zero advisories suggest the vehicle was presented in acceptable condition each time. The odometer shows 149,164 miles against a 2006 build, an average of roughly 7,458 miles per year that is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 138,569 in July 2021 to 145,095 in July 2022, then to 149,164 by July 2023, a steady annual accumulation near 6,000 to 7,500 miles with no sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the five entries, so no wear pattern can be inferred from the record itself. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent wear on coil springs, track-rod ends, or brake discs at twenty years old. Standing time between the last test in July 2023 and today leaves roughly three years unverified, raising the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, or structural rust beneath sills and arches. The repeated no-defect failures suggest previous owners attended tests promptly but may have overlooked documentation. Verify the V5C, confirm the car has covered minimal miles since 2023, and have a technician check suspension geometry and underbody integrity given the age and elapsed time off-test.
