2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · KU08 AKN

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record leading up to the most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 125,611 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a failure on 10 March 2026 at 125,560 miles, though the record lacks specific defect details for that failure. The transition from failure to pass within a single day suggests a minor, rectified issue rather than a significant mechanical or structural failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's 18-year age. The car has covered approximately 6,978 miles per year, which is a standard pattern for a family vehicle of this era. The data shows a steady progression from 101,482 miles in March 2023 to 125,611 miles in March 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which helps prevent seized components and perished rubber seals. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the recorded history is exceptionally clean for a Zafira of this age. However, the lack of recorded advisories can sometimes indicate a lack of detailed inspection rather than a perfect vehicle. A physical inspection should focus on the underside to check for structural rust and the condition of the exhaust system, as these are common age-related issues not always captured in brief MOT entries. A buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, alongside the tyre tread depths, as these consumables are not always flagged unless they fall below legal limits. Given the steady mileage, the drivetrain and suspension components should be checked for signs of wear or leaks, despite the clean electronic record. The vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard that avoids the common pitfalls of neglected older cars.
