2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · AD56 AHK

The Vauxhall Zafira shows a current roadworthy status following the September 2021 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 21 September 2021 at 153,346 miles. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that point because no further tests appear on the DVSA record. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT since, leaving a near five-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026. The odometer reads 153,346 miles against a 2007 build, equating to roughly 8,071 miles per year and sitting within typical use for the age. The record is sparse. Both the failed and passed tests in September 2021 carry identical mileages of 153,346, and the failure on 16 September shows no defects logged, with the pass five days later also clean. This suggests the failure may have been administrative or a late presentation rather than a mechanical reject, but the absence of any mileage movement across the two dates is unusual and the long silence since then means current wear is unknown. A buyer must treat this as a vehicle with an expired test history and unverified condition after nearly five years off the MOT radar. Standing time of this length risks perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and structural corrosion on sills and subframes even if no faults were flagged in 2021. The Zafira of this era is also prone to water ingress and rust at the rear chassis legs. Prior to any purchase, commission an independent inspection covering brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, and underbody integrity. The clean 2021 record offers no assurance for 2026 roadworthiness given the mileage has not advanced and no tester has examined the car since.
