2018 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · AY18 WDR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last four years. Following a mechanical failure in February 2022 regarding worn front brake pads, the car has passed four consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 59,167 miles confirms that all mechanical and safety components are currently meeting the required regulatory standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 31,631 miles and the 2026 test at 59,167 miles, the vehicle covered 27,536 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often leads to rubber seal degradation or brake caliper corrosion. The lack of sudden spikes in mileage indicates a predictable and manageable vehicle ownership history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2022 failure indicates the previous owner occasionally ran components to their legal limit. While the 2021 record noted a minor exhaust leak at the rear back box clamp, subsequent clean records suggest this was rectified. Given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, an inspection of the suspension bushes and structural integrity for surface corrosion is advisable, as these areas are not always flagged in MOT tests until they reach a critical state of failure. The buyer should also verify the remaining life of the current brake pads and discs to ensure they are not nearing another replacement interval.
