2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CX08 PNZ

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 125,104 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every pass test without advisories across the three years of available records. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the data. The recorded mileage sits at 125,104 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,950 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. Between the June 2023 test at 109,114 miles and the July 2024 pass at 121,202 miles the car covered about 12,000 miles, then added only 3,902 miles to July 2025. That tapering use suggests lighter recent running. The records are sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. Two failed tests appear in the history, on 4 July 2024 at 117,837 miles and 8 July 2025 at 125,095 miles, yet both list no defects recorded. This points to administrative or presentation failures at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and MOT paperwork match, since a no-defect failure is unusual and warrants scrutiny of why the car was rejected. Given the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues across the record, the Zafira shows no structural or mechanical red flags in its MOT trail. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless check underside structural integrity and brake condition in person, as a clean MOT history on a 2008 vehicle does not guarantee freedom from age-related rust or worn consumables missed between annual tests.
