VAUXHALL ZAFIRA2011 · 1.7L Diesel

The 2011 Vauxhall Zafira demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-04-20 confirming no defects at 134,363 miles. Previous tests from 2024-01-11, 2023-01-04, and 2022-01-07 also showed passes, though a duplicate 2022-01-07 entry recorded a fail with no defects noted. This suggests either a data inconsistency or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 134,363 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 8,958 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. However, a two-year gap between the 2022-01-07 and 2024-01-11 tests saw mileage rise from 113,032 to 128,404 miles—a slower accumulation than the annual average. This could imply periods of reduced use or storage, potentially affecting components like suspension bushes or brake discs if left stationary. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the record is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly coil springs and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for wear, as does the exhaust system for corrosion, which can develop during prolonged inactivity. The 2022 fail entry, though unexplained, highlights the importance of verifying service history and ensuring no unresolved issues were overlooked. Overall, the MOT record suggests responsible upkeep, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
