2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · AF07 MLL

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 10 January 2023 at 100,627 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, though the record is sparse and now over three years stale relative to today's date. A prior failure on 10 January 2023 at the same mileage with no defects logged suggests an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault, and the earlier failure on 6 January 2022 at 92,115 miles also carried no recorded defects before a pass on 17 January 2022 at 92,348 miles. The odometer shows 100,627 miles against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 5,296 miles per year. This is low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The gap between the January 2022 test at 92,348 miles and the January 2023 test at 100,627 miles shows only 8,279 miles added in a year, consistent with light use. No rapid accumulation or standing-still anomaly is visible, but the three-year silence since the last test means current wear cannot be verified from the data. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The clean advisory history gives no flag for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, yet a low-mileage Zafira of this age commonly hides perished rubber mounts and underbody rust from infrequent movement. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, but DVSA records capture only test-day condition. Given the 2023 pass is expired and the car has likely covered unknown miles since, treat the verdict as historical only. Inspect brake calipers for binding after standing, check exhaust emissions for cat degradation, and confirm tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The previous owner kept the test cycle current but offered no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond statutory compliance.
