VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2012 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend. While the most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 61,188 miles resulted in an initial failure due to incorrectly coloured rear direction indicators, the vehicle passed immediately upon retest that same day with no further defects recorded. This indicates that the owner is responsive to MOT failure requirements and that the core mechanical integrity remains within acceptable parameters. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,371 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 44,280 miles and the September 2025 test at 61,188 miles, the vehicle covered 16,908 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and perished seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the September 2023 test at 50,370 miles flagged both rear brake pads as thin and rear discs as pitted. Although these were likely addressed subsequently, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from surface corrosion on discs if not used frequently. A physical inspection of the calipers for binding or uneven wear is necessary. Given the age of the Zafira, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as no structural advisories were noted in the provided history to date.
