2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · CU67 WSW

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 54,551 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 23 August 2023 at 44,083 miles is anomalous: the same-day retest passed the car with no defects logged, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,061 miles per year against the car's 2017 build date, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The record shows steady, low accumulation: 40,898 miles in August 2022, 44,083 in August 2023, 47,942 in August 2024, and 54,551 by September 2025. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all tests means the DVSA data gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual use over nine years can allow moisture trapped in sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points to promote structural corrosion unseen by the MOT roller. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, but standing periods shorten rubber life and encourage seized calipers. Verify the 23 August 2023 failure paperwork with DVSA to confirm it carried no raised defects. Check tyre sidewall dates and brake fluid condition, as neither falls inside the MOT scope. The history implies a careful keeper who covered few miles, yet light use is no guarantee against perished seals or underbody rust on a Zafira of this era.
