2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · DY10 AAJ

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 127,600 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, showing consecutive annual passes from June 2023 through May 2025 with no advisories. The sole anomaly appears on 10 March 2022, when the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at 112,526 miles, both entries showing no defects; this suggests an administrative or minor non mechanical rejection corrected immediately rather than a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,975 miles per year against the 16 year age, a typical usage profile. The odometer moved from 112,526 miles in March 2022 to 115,352 miles by June 2023, a modest 2,826 miles over fifteen months. Subsequent yearly increments stayed consistent: 6,200 miles to May 2024 and 6,048 miles to May 2025. No rapid accumulation or extended standing gaps emerge from the data, though the record itself is sparse before 2022, offering limited insight into earlier care. Despite the clean test sheet, a buyer should physically inspect common fatigue points on a high mileage MPV of this era. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural advisories, yet Zafira chassis legs, subframe mounts and suspension bushes demand hands on checks for rust perforation and rubber degradation. The buyer must check brake discs and calipers for wear and binding after sixteen years of service. Exhaust emissions and coil springs also warrant a workshop lift inspection, as age related fracturing of spring seats and catalytic converter efficiency loss escape annual visual MOT scope once passed. The absence of recorded faults implies previous owners maintained basic compliance, but the same day 2022 failure warrants confirmation that no hidden defect prompted the initial rejection.
