2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · MA57 AAY

The most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 recorded a pass at 199,533 miles with no defects noted, indicating that, at the time of testing, the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness standards. With two consecutive passes and no recorded advisories, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen sharply between the two recorded tests: 121,564 miles at the 29 November 2024 test and 199,533 miles less than eleven months later, an increase of 77,969 miles. This rate far exceeds the average of roughly 10,500 miles per year for a 2007 model and points to a period of intensive use or a possible recording anomaly. No other mileage data are available, so the pattern cannot be corroborated, but the abrupt jump suggests accelerated wear on consumable components. A prospective buyer should therefore focus the in‑person inspection on wear‑related items. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as high mileage often accelerates tyre degradation. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of uneven wear that could indicate over‑loading. Inspect brake discs and pads for glazing or thinning, and check the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. A visual assessment of the chassis for rust, especially around wheel arches and under‑carriage, will confirm the absence of structural concerns that the MOT record cannot reveal.
