2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Diesel · DY16 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-07-11 at 75,693 miles. The maintenance trend over the past four years shows consistent compliance, with no recurring issues or escalating faults. The 2024-06-27 test recorded a failed result, but no defects were noted, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technicality resolved before the subsequent pass on the same day. Overall, the history indicates stable upkeep, with no structural, braking, or emission-related concerns flagged. The mileage of 75,693 miles at 10 years old aligns with typical annual usage of ~7,569 miles, reflecting moderate wear. Gaps between tests are minimal, with annual assessments from 2022 to 2025, though the 2024-06-27 dual test (failed and passed) raises questions about procedural consistency. No significant mileage spikes or drops are evident, and the absence of defects in recent years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without MOT detection. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear, as the absence of recorded issues does not preclude latent faults. Corrosion, particularly in underbody areas, warrants scrutiny, as it can develop unnoticed in older vehicles. The lack of advisories or structural concerns in the record is positive, but a hands-on inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
