2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · VK13 ABO

Overall roadworthiness stands as passed at the most recent examination on 2 March 2026 at 168,492 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The vehicle cleared its test without advisories, following same-day fail and pass pairs in the two prior years that likewise listed no faults. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring structural or mechanical risks flagged by testers. The recorded mileages trace a modest recent accumulation. In the 19 March 2024 pass at 158,134 miles, the car had covered roughly 12,961 miles per year since new, but the gap to the 17 March 2025 pass at 162,693 miles shows only 4,559 miles in that year, then 5,799 miles to the March 2026 test. Such reduced annual use relative to the lifetime average suggests lighter recent operation, though the sparse three-year record omits earlier tests and limits judgement on long-term care. The unexplained fail entries at 158,127 and 162,693 miles on the same dates as the passes, with no defects noted, imply either prompt correction or data correction rather than deferred servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-mileage Zafira wear points despite the clean MOT lines. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends for fatigue; assess brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear; inspect exhaust system and underbody for corrosion and verify structural integrity of sills and subframe. The absent advisories do not preclude age-related deterioration invisible to the test, and the peculiar fail/pass pairs warrant a DVSA certificate check to confirm no hidden rectification. Tyres and wiper blades remain consumables to verify visually.
