2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · AY13 YOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with 129,391 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the failure on that same day was limited to misaligned headlamps, a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical or structural defect. The clean sheets from the 2023 and 2025 tests indicate that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard over the intervening years. At 129,391 miles over 13 years, the Zafira has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 12,300 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,300 miles in the final year leading up to the most recent test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often detrimental to rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system based on the February 2024 failures at 109,456 miles. That test flagged corroded brake pipes on both the front and rear axles, alongside lipped front brake discs. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, corrosion on brake lines is a progressive issue that requires close visual inspection to ensure the metal is not thinning or scaling to the point of structural failure. Additionally, the nearside front tyre edge wear noted in 2024 warrants a check of the current suspension geometry to ensure no worn bushes or alignment issues persist.
