2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · LX11 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record over the most recent five years of testing. The last recorded test on 27 February 2023 at 53,513 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a consistent pattern of successful annual inspections dating back to 2014, suggesting the vehicle has been subject to regular, proactive upkeep. The mileage history indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. A significant jump occurred between the February 2013 test at 18,912 miles and the February 2014 test at 29,018 miles, representing a period of higher activity. Since 2014, the mileage has climbed steadily but slowly, reaching 53,513 miles by early 2023. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The MOT history shows only isolated, minor failures that were rectified immediately. The tester flagged a leaking nearside front brake hose during the February 2019 test, which caused an initial failure before a pass was achieved on the same day. A previous failure in February 2018 regarding insufficient windscreen washer fluid was also a minor consumable issue. The 2013 record noted both front tyres were near the legal limit, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting rubber components and fluid systems. Because the vehicle has been driven sparingly, I recommend checking the condition of all brake hoses, suspension bushes, and engine mounts for signs of perishing or cracking. Given the low annual mileage, an inspection of the battery health and the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking is also advisable, as tyres can degrade even without significant tread wear.
