2003 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CV53 FJD

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 4 June 2024 at 96,854 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the five-year record. The owner cleared two earlier failures from 2023 and 2024 by retesting within days, and both passes carried zero advisories. The odometer reads 96,854 miles against a 23-year life, an average of roughly 4,211 miles per year. This is low for the age. Annual accumulation stayed gentle: 93,155 miles in May 2022, 95,218 by June 2023, and 96,854 by June 2024. The car added only 2,699 miles across those two years. Such low use often means long standing periods, which can let corrosion and perished rubber take hold even when the test sheet stays clean. The repeated failures on 26 May 2023 and 24 May 2024 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative or minor presentational issues rather than logged mechanical defects, since the DVSA record shows no faults either time. No advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition given the car's age and low-mileage dormancy pattern. The clean MOT trail implies basic statutory upkeep was met, but it does not confirm the depth of consumable or structural care on a 2003 chassis.
