VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2005 · 1.6L Petrol

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 1 June 2022, where it passed at 98,645 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed on 31 May 2022 at 98,641 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical defect. Recorded mileage sits at 98,645 against a 2005 build, equating to roughly 4,700 miles per year and reflecting light use for a 21-year-old vehicle. The history shows steady annual accumulation: 88,117 miles on 2 June 2020, 92,691 on 1 June 2021, and 98,645 by June 2022. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear. The clean test entries across four years suggest the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse record offers limited insight into consumable renewal or underlying corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT data contains no advisory detail to confirm freedom from rust on a two-decade-old Vauxhall. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement given the low annual mileage may have allowed moisture-related degradation during standing periods. The twin 2020 and 2022 same-day fail-pass pairs imply test station processing anomalies rather than owner neglect, but verify the V5C and prior invoices to confirm continuous road use rather than extended storage.
