2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · AX16 ACJ

The 2026‑03‑26 MOT at 79,067 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness is satisfactory and the maintenance trend is stable after two consecutive passes. Mileage has risen from 41,090 miles in August 2020 to 79,067 miles in March 2026, an average of roughly 7,900 miles per year, with incremental increases of 4,000‑8,000 miles per year and no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. Recurring observations include front inner tyre edge wear (5.2.3 e) noted in 2022, 2024 and 2026, rear brake disc pitting or scoring (1.1.14 a ii) from 2022 onward, and a cut in the offside rear tyre (5.2.3 d i) in 2022, suggesting the owner has not addressed alignment, brake component condition or tyre integrity consistently; wiper effectiveness failures (3.4 b ii) in 2024 and lamp failures (4.2.1 a ii) in 2024 further point to deferred maintenance of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers and electrical connections. A buyer should therefore inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or corrosion, examine brake discs for pitting, measure pad thickness, verify tyre tread depth and side wear patterns, test wiper blade condition and washer performance, and check for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these items have repeatedly appeared in the MOT history.
