2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · AF57 VSY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on February 25 2025, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent, as evidenced by repeated failures immediately preceding successful passes. In both 2023 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed upon retest within one to three days. This pattern suggests that specific mechanical issues are addressed only when necessary for legal roadworthiness rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule between the recorded intervals. At 134,302 miles, this 19-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 7,069 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with typical expectations for a family car of this age, suggesting it has not undergone extreme high-mile usage. The record shows regular testing intervals between March 2023 and February 2025, though the lack of specific mileage figures for each individual failure and pass makes it impossible to determine the exact rate of wear on the drivetrain or suspension over that specific two-year period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that caused the 2023 and 2025 failures, as the provided data does not list the specific reasons for these defects. Given the age and mileage of the Zafira, focus should be placed on structural corrosion in the sills and subframes, which are common failure points for this model. The inspection should also evaluate suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components for wear or play, as these are frequently the sources of MOT failures in vehicles of this age bracket. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
