2008 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA1.6L Petrol

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, passing on 26 July 2023 at 87,759 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the three final passes in 2021, 2022, and 2023 showing clean sheets. A recurring administrative pattern emerges: the vehicle failed on 26 July 2022 and 26 July 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes logged the next day, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for either failure. This suggests clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, though the buyer should confirm the exact failure reasons from the original certificates. The odometer shows 81,571 miles in August 2021, rising to 84,523 miles by July 2022 and 87,759 miles by July 2023. That equates to roughly 3,200 miles annually over the recorded span, well below the 4,876-mile per-year average for an 18-year-old vehicle. Low accumulated mileage of this order often signals light domestic use or extended periods off the road. The record itself is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so no wear trends on tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes can be inferred from the data supplied. Given the absence of recorded advisories or defects, the Zafira shows no evidence of structural corrosion, binding calipers, or worn coil springs in the official history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sills for rust, check suspension bushes for perishing after long idle spells, and verify brake condition given the low use. The same-day fail-and-pass anomalies in 2022 and 2023 warrant scrutiny of the VT20 and VT30 documents to rule out suppressed mechanical faults.
