2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · AF67 YND

The vehicle's last MOT on 27 October 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. That test followed two previous annual passes on 19 October 2022 and 19 October 2021, each also clean. The maintenance trend across those three tests is stable, with no recorded deterioration. However, the MOT has now lapsed for nearly two years, so the current roadworthiness status is unverified by a recent test. At 126,104 miles, the Zafira shows high annual mileage averaging roughly 14,000 miles since its 2017 registration. The three recorded tests fall at consistent yearly intervals, suggesting regular use without long lay-ups. No mileage figures are recorded against the individual test certificates, so the rate of accumulation between tests cannot be confirmed from this data alone. With no advisories on suspension, brakes, corrosion or emissions in the available history, the buyer should focus a physical inspection on components that commonly degrade at this mileage and age. Check the front suspension arms and rear axle bushes for play, examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers, and inspect the underbody and structural chassis legs for any signs of corrosion that may not yet have triggered an advisory. The timing belt and water pump service history should also be verified, as the interval is likely due or overdue at this mileage. A fresh MOT will be required before the car can be used legally on the road, and that test will provide the first current assessment of items such as tyre condition, exhaust integrity and emissions performance. Until then, the clean historical record is a positive indicator but does not substitute for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
