2016 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 October 2025 at 49,871 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean results across multiple consecutive years indicates that the vehicle has maintained a stable mechanical condition and has avoided the common failures often seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of use, with the car covering 24,520 miles between January 2022 and October 2025. The short-month gap between the January 2022 test and the October 2022 test suggests an early inspection or a change in ownership, but subsequent annual tests have returned to a regular-month interval. This low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally cause rubber seals and bushes to degrade if the vehicle sits for extended periods. While the record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer must inspect for issues associated with low-mileage usage. Focus attention on checking for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which can crack from age regardless of distance. Since the history shows no recorded brake or exhaust issues, verify that the brake discs are free of pitting and the calipers are not binding due to inactivity. A physical inspection of the chassis underside remains essential to ensure that no structural corrosion has developed that the clean MOT records did not highlight.
