2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · AJ13 LSO

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 90,436 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in October 2024 and November 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the available record. Mileage sits at typical levels for a 2013 registration. The record shows 86,678 miles at the November 2023 test, 89,728 miles in October 2024, and 90,436 miles by October 2025. That is roughly 3,000 miles in the first year and only 708 miles in the second, averaging well below the 6,957 annual figure implied by total use. The low recent accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The October 2024 and November 2023 entries each show a failed test on the same date as the eventual pass at identical mileages, yet the DVSA data records no defects against either failure. This points to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than logged mechanical faults, so the buyer cannot rely on the failure lines as evidence of specific repair work. Given the clean defect history, no recurring suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues are documented. In person, the buyer should still verify structural integrity for underbody corrosion and check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after the low-use period. Confirm the tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition match the no-advisory record, and query the garage about the dual fail-pass entries on those dates to rule out omitted fault data.
