2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · CV57 OCO

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 128,019 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. This clean run suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a basic pass standard, though the paired fail and pass entries on the same day in both 2024 and 2025 point to administrative re-tests rather than rectified defects. Mileage sat at 120,960 in the October 2023 test, rose to 125,203 by 18 October 2024, and reached 128,019 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year over the recorded period, below the 6,738 annual average for a 2007 car. The low accumulation implies light use, yet the identical same-day fail and pass logs at 125,203 and 125,206 miles in 2024, then 128,019 in 2025, show the tester corrected an error or cleared a non-mechanical failure before granting the certificate. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the MOT data alone shows no worsening wear trend. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity in person, as 19-year-old Vauxhalls commonly develop subframe rust unseen by the annual test. Check the front crossmember, rear trailing arm mounts, and sills for flaking or perforated metal. Verify the brake calipers are not binding and the exhaust emissions stay within limits under load, since the record notes no faults but cannot confirm component condition. The clean history warrants a standard pre-purchase inspection rather than urgent concern.
