2013 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2.0L Diesel

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 201,960 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable with no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The three entries logged on 5 and 6 February 2026 show two immediate failures at 201,956 and 201,958 miles followed by a pass at 201,960 miles, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for any of those tests, which points to administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than a deterioration in the vehicle's condition. The odometer shows roughly 15,535 miles covered per year since the 2013 build, a high annual figure for its class that implies sustained motorway or fleet-style use. Between the 2 February 2024 pass at 171,168 miles and the 27 January 2025 pass at 186,771 miles the car added 15,603 miles, then a further 15,189 miles to the February 2026 pass at 201,960, giving a consistent yearly accumulation with no standing periods or sudden gaps. The sparse five-entry history carries no recorded advisories across two years, so the paper trail alone shows clean test outcomes but offers little insight into component-level wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the mileage and thirteen-year age, as high-use Zafiras of this era commonly develop structural rust and worn trailing arm mounts that a no-defect MOT will not always capture. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for binding or leakage, and the tester should confirm the 5 February 2026 failure entries were clerical rather than a concealed mechanical reject. Given the two same-day failures with zero defects recorded before the final pass, verify the V5C and full DVSA test certificate with the seller to rule out mileage discrepancy or test centre error. The high 201,960-mile total means consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and shock absorbers are likely near replacement regardless of the clean record.
