2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · KE14 AAO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 57,439 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between November 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 38,000 to 46,515 miles. Since then, the annual mileage has dropped significantly, covering only 1,514 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. Such low usage often indicates the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat spots on tyres. While the MOT record shows no failures for brake discs or suspension bushes, the lack of wear-and-tear advisories is unusual for a car of this age. This suggests either a very sheltered life or a lack of detailed scrutiny during the tests. Check for signs of corrosion on the underbody and sills, as low-mileage cars often sit in damp environments which accelerate rust. Verify the condition of the battery and fluids, as infrequent driving cycles can lead to premature battery failure and moisture buildup in the engine oil. Ensure the tyres are not aged out, even if the tread depth remains legal.
