2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · BV08 YRU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 August 2025 at 128,766 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate failure issues to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean test record without any advisories or recurring mechanical faults over the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eighteen-year-old MPV, averaging approximately 7,154 miles per year. The record moved from 105,600 miles in August 2023 to 117,885 miles in August 2024, and finally to 128,766 miles in August 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals and mechanical components. The consistent intervals of roughly 12,000 miles between tests show predictable driving habits. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age of this Zafira, the inspector should check for hidden corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points which are not always fully exposed until they become significant. The buyer should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and the shock absorbers for signs of weeping or play. Since the record shows no advisories for brakes, checking for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs remains necessary to ensure the braking system is as effective as the digital record suggests.
