2016 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA1.4L Petrol

The 2016 Vauxhall Zafira exhibits a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 July 2025 at 47,670 miles with zero defects recorded. This outcome confirms the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The recent history shows a resolving trend, moving from a failed test in November 2022 to three consecutive flawless passes. The most recent test occurred exactly one year ago, meaning a fresh MOT will be due imminently. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,767 miles annually. Between 26 October 2023 at 39,385 miles and 7 November 2024 at 44,728 miles, the Zafira covered 5,343 miles over a twelve-month period. The subsequent eight months saw a modest increase of 2,942 miles, reaching 47,670 miles by 8 July 2025. This low annual usage suggests lighter domestic use rather than long-distance motorway miles, though prolonged periods of standing could have affected consumables like rubber suspension bushes and tyres. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should physically inspect specific structural and mechanical components typical of this model. The failed test on 8 November 2022 at 33,825 miles presents a data anomaly since no defects were recorded, potentially indicating an administrative error or an aborted test. Regardless, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is prudent, focusing on the suspension mounting points, brake lines, and exhaust system. Given the low mileage, check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface rust and binding caused by short journeys. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often require replacement due to deterioration rather than tread wear.
