2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · CA10 UCP

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on February 26 2025 with 96,067 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved consecutive clean passes following previous failures. While the history shows instances of non-compliance in the past, the last two annual tests indicate that identified issues were addressed and rectified prior to the subsequent testing dates. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between March 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 2,505 miles over nearly two years. However, the usage increased significantly in the final period, with 8,970 miles clocked in the twelve months leading up to the 2025 test. This suggests a shift from light use to more active driving, which can sometimes stress rubber components and brake systems after long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in 2022 and 2024. Although the specific records for those failures are not detailed, Zafira models of this era frequently suffer from worn suspension bushes, perished coil springs, and exhaust corrosion. Inspect the underside for structural integrity and check the brake system for signs of binding calipers or uneven wear. Given the age of the vehicle, also verify the condition of the belts and fluid hoses, which often degrade on vehicles that have sat stationary for extended periods.
