2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · GL14 AEA

This Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 25 April 2025 at 68,613 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 68,613 miles over twelve years, averaging roughly 5,718 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a car of this age. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, increasing by 7,251 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and by a further 7,593 miles by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or evidence of long periods of standing that would typically cause perished seals or seized calipers. The MOT record is unusually clean for a 2014 model, showing no flagged issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions. While the 2023 and 2024 tests show initial failures on the day of passing, the lack of specific defect descriptions suggests these were likely minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake disc deterioration in the official data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test often overlooks or only checks superficially. Given the low annual mileage, check for tyre perishing or flat spots and verify the condition of the battery. Inspect the underside for surface rust, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee the absence of corrosion on non-structural areas. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred regardless of the low mileage to prevent sludge buildup in the engine.
