2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · CV13 JWA

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 July 2023 at 72,767 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The two prior annual tests, on 29 July 2022 at 70,319 miles and 3 August 2021 at 67,539 miles, also passed with no advisories. Across this three-year window the vehicle cleared every examination without a single fault or recommended repair, indicating consistent mechanical condition under the previous keeper. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2013 registration. The car covered just 2,448 miles between August 2021 and July 2022, then 2,448 miles again to July 2023, averaging roughly 5,597 miles per year overall. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods are likely. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of rapid wear on consumables or drivetrain, though sparse testing beyond 2021 leaves the earlier life undocumented. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with long idle spells accelerates perishable component degradation that MOT tests may not expose. Suspension bushes, brake calipers, and flexible hoses warrant hands-on checks for cracking or seizure. Standing vehicles commonly develop flat-spotted tyres and corroded brake discs despite passing emissions and structural integrity checks. Given the last test expired in July 2024 and today is 8 July 2026, the Zafira has run two years without a recorded MOT. The new owner must arrange a current test immediately, as unseen deterioration in exhaust, steering, or underbody corrosion cannot be ruled out from the supplied data alone.
