2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · AE08 BDD

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 17 December 2025 at 112,940 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is difficult to classify as stable given the test history shows two consecutive failures on 26 November 2025 at 112,907 miles and 15 December 2025 at 112,935 miles, both recorded with no defects cited. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a clear mechanical deterioration, and the vehicle resolved to a clean pass two days after the second failure. Recorded mileage sits at 112,940 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,274 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows 103,409 miles at the 27 November 2023 test, rising to 108,367 by 26 November 2024 and 112,940 by the December 2025 pass. Annual accumulation stayed near 4,500 to 5,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The record is sparse and clean across all passed years with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2008 build and winter exposure over eighteen years. The absence of logged advisories does not preclude worn coil springs or degraded suspension bushes common on high-mileage Zafiras. Verify the braking system for binding calipers and check tyre condition and wiper blades as consumables irrespective of the clean MOT sheet. The repeated no-defect failures preceding the December 2025 pass warrant confirmation that the correct vehicle and test certificates are in order. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing but the twin failures imply either tester error or withheld fault detail. Inspect the V5C and full service history to corroborate the 112,940-mile odometer and absence of unrecorded repair work.
