2004 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CV04 RNX

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2022 at 155,020 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record is sparse and shows two same-day fail/pass pairs in 2021 and 2022 that were logged with no defects cited, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. The odometer moved from 146,040 miles on 13 November 2021 to 155,020 miles by 3 November 2022, a modest 8,980-mile gain over twelve months that sits close to the vehicle's 22-year average of roughly 7,046 miles per year. No rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps are evident between the four entries, but the three-year silence since the last test means the car has likely covered unknown mileage or stood unused since late 2022. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration that three years of absence from testing will not reveal. The clean advisory history gives no warning of corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, yet the age invites structural rust inspection on sills and subframes. Given the twin failed tests on 13 November 2021 and 3 November 2022 with zero defects noted, prior owners likely used the garage for quick re-issues rather than deeper checks. Commission an independent inspection before any purchase, as the DVSA data alone confirms only a snapshot from November 2022.
