2017 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA1.4L Petrol

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a clean test outcome at the most recent examination on 17 July 2025 at 68,935 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history remains stable, with passes logged annually from July 2023 through July 2025 and no advisories raised. The earlier failure on 13 July 2022 at 44,369 miles listed no defects, and a subsequent pass on 6 August 2022 at 44,372 miles suggests the non-mechanical cause was resolved without mechanical intervention. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 44,372 miles in August 2022 to 48,729 miles by July 2023, then to 60,650 miles in July 2024, and finally 68,935 miles in July 2025. This reflects consistent annual coverage without abrupt accumulation. The three-week gap between the 2022 failure and pass saw only three miles added, indicating the car stood idle during rectification. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Zafira to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspections, though the absence of recorded advisories means latent wear may exist unseen. A buyer should physically examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints for age-related degradation. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear and binding, given the vehicle's mileage and the unspecified 2022 failure. Structural integrity and corrosion protection should be assessed beneath the sills, subframes, and exhaust system, as Vauxhall models of this period can suffer from rust if exposed to road salt. Exhaust emissions testing passed historically, but a fresh diagnostic check remains prudent. The clean record supports a favourable verdict, provided in-person inspection confirms no hidden defects.
