2004 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CE04 XTW

The 2004 Vauxhall Zafira is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the November 2023 MOT at 135,459 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. The series of tests from 2021 through 2023 shows a consistent record of passes, indicating stable maintenance with no recurring failures. The mileage trajectory reflects typical usage for a 22‑year‑old vehicle, averaging about 6,150 miles per year; the increase from 127,769 miles in October 2021 to 135,459 miles in November 2023 represents an accumulation of roughly 7,700 miles over two years, or just over 3,800 miles annually, a pace that aligns with normal wear patterns and shows no abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have previously triggered failures, specifically the suspension bushes and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs and pads, and any signs of binding calipers, as the earlier 2022 and 2021 tests listed failures despite no defects being recorded, suggesting that remedial work may have masked underlying wear. In addition, inspection of the chassis for structural rust, the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and verification of tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition will complete a thorough assessment of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
