2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · BT60 RYB

The 2011 Vauxhall Zafira is roadworthy, but the September 2025 MOT at 115,951 miles flagged emerging corrosion on both rear coil springs and thin rear brake pads, suggesting a slight deterioration in the maintenance trend after several clean years. Mileage has risen from 86,285 miles in July 2021 to 115,951 miles in September 2025, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. This progression aligns with typical usage for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle and shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. The record contains no gaps, and the absence of defects in the 2021‑2024 tests implies consistent servicing during that interval. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear suspension and braking system. Inspect the coil springs for further corrosion, verify the condition of the spring mounts and surrounding bushings, and confirm that the rear brake pads have been replaced or are within safe thickness. A visual check for any rust on the chassis, especially around the rear axle, will help gauge the extent of corrosion. While the MOT history shows no other advisories, confirming tyre tread depth, wiper blade integrity, and overall exhaust emissions will ensure the vehicle remains compliant and reliable.
