2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · HY60 GAA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2021-09-07 at 79,140 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. No recurring issues were flagged in the history, and all tests from 2017 to 2021 showed similar results, suggesting consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. However, the absence of any MOT records post-2021 raises concerns about potential lapses in inspection or maintenance, as the car has not been assessed for over five years despite its age. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 46,738 miles in 2017 rising to 79,140 by 2021—a total of 32,402 miles over four years. This equates to an average of 8,100 miles annually, slightly above the 4,946-mile average for its age. While the low mileage suggests reduced usage, the lack of recent MOTs means the vehicle’s current condition remains unverified. The gap between 2017 and 2021 tests is unremarkable, with no abrupt spikes or drops in mileage that might indicate neglect or excessive wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without regular checks. The absence of exhaust emissions tests in the record highlights the need to verify catalytic converter functionality, as this is critical for compliance. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as prolonged periods of inactivity may lead to corrosion or rust in underbody components. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear, and the battery’s condition should be confirmed, as long-term storage can affect electrical systems.
