2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · BW16 YVU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 64,845 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern or recurring defect cycle. Mileage sat at 38,246 miles for the November 2022 test, then rose to 48,341 miles by the failed attempt on 28 October 2023 and 48,436 miles at the pass eleven days later. Coverage stayed light at 50,162 miles in November 2024 before the 14,683-mile jump to the 2025 test. Annual averages run near 6,484 miles, typical for a ten-year-old car, though the 2024 to 2025 span shows the only sharp accumulation. The October 2023 failure carries no listed defect, implying an administrative or unrecorded minor cause rather than a mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the car's age and the 2025 mileage surge. The clean MOT history offers no flagged wear on consumables or structure, but DVSA tests capture only test-day condition. Verify the tyre tread depth, wiper operation and exhaust emissions in person to confirm the recorded low-defect pattern holds beyond the certificate.
