2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · NX12 AGU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 August 2025 at 68,207 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 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 2012 model, averaging roughly 4,872 miles per year. The distance covered between the June 2022 test (57,959 miles) and the August 2025 test (68,207 miles) shows a steady, light usage pattern of approximately 3,400 miles per year over the last three years. A failure recorded on 30 May 2024 at 65,983 miles was resolved within 48 hours, as evidenced by the pass on 1 June 2024. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to seized components. Rubber elements, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be examined for perishing or cracking regardless of the tread depth. The absence of advisories regarding structural integrity or exhaust emissions over the last five years is positive. However, the lack of recorded defects may mask a lack of preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should verify that the engine oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than mileage, as the low annual distance may have led the previous owner to skip scheduled services.
