VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2007 · 1.6L Petrol

The Vauxhall Zafira currently holds a failed MOT status from the 10 November 2025 test at 112,724 miles, with no defects formally recorded on the DVSA entry. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at 107,090 miles on 7 November 2024 and at 99,261 miles on 10 November 2023, though it also failed on the same date in 2023 with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the five-year record, yet the most recent failure with a blank defect sheet suggests an administrative or unrecorded issue rather than a verified roadworthy pass. Annual mileage has been light for a 2007 vehicle. The record shows 92,526 miles in November 2022, rising to 99,261 by November 2023, then 107,090 by November 2024, and 112,724 by the November 2025 failure. That equates to roughly 5,900 miles per year, well below typical use for a people carrier of this age. The sparse, clean history with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns logged implies either careful low-use ownership or, given the twin 2023 tests and the defect-free 2025 failure, inconsistent test documentation rather than confirmed mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as MOT entries with no defects recorded do not confirm absence of rust on a nineteen-year-old Vauxhall. The twin tests on 10 November 2023, one fail and one pass at identical mileage, point to a possible rectification turnaround or data anomaly that warrants scrutiny of the failure reason through the full DVLA certificate. Given the 2025 failure with no listed defect, verify the refusal-to-issue cause directly with DVSA before purchase. Check brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes for age-related fatigue not captured in the clean advisories history, and confirm the vehicle has not stood idle for long periods that could degrade seals and tyres despite low recorded miles.
