2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FH13 ABX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes across its tenure. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 18,336 miles recorded no defects or advisories, mirroring the trend seen in the previous ten inspections. This uniformity suggests the vehicle has been kept in good condition without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,410 miles per year. Data shows a steady, incremental progression, such as the jump from 16,250 miles in August 2024 to 18,336 miles in August 2025. This lack of high mileage indicates the car was likely used only for short-distance trips or remained stationary frequently. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also increases the risk of age-related issues caused by sitting stationary for long periods. Because the MOT record shows no faults or advisories, a buyer must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage and use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used brakes often develop rust on the rotors. Check all rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyres, for cracking, as material degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres specifically, as old rubber can lose structural integrity even if the tread depth remains high.
