2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · AG57 BDF

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 July 2025 at 112,150 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three years, as the 2025, 2024, and 2023 tests all closed with passes and no advisories logged. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 112,150 against an April 2008 build, equating to roughly 6,231 miles per year and reflecting typical use for an 18-year-old family car. The gap between the April 2023 test at 104,413 miles and the April 2024 test at 105,712 miles shows only 1,299 miles covered in twelve months, then 6,438 miles to July 2025. Such low early interval suggests a period of limited running, though the later pickup indicates resumed regular service. The DVSA data carries no minor consumable flags or structural corrosion entries across this span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the two failed-then-passed same-day tests in 2023 and 2024 where the failure cause was not itemised on the record. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent wear on exhaust emissions components or subframe rust hidden from the test bay. Verify the 2024 and 2023 failure reasons with the test station, as the blank defect fields leave the trigger unresolved. Previous keepers maintained the Zafira to a passable standard with no recurring fault trend, yet the undocumented failures merit caution. Prioritise an independent check of structural integrity and binding calipers before purchase, given the sparse history offers little insight into resolved defects.
