2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CX56 PDZ

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 29 January 2024 at 128,034 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. The lone failure on 10 January 2023 at 116,778 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a worn component, and the vehicle passed cleanly three weeks later on 1 February 2023 at 117,066 miles. Annual mileage sits around typical expectations for a 2006 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year against the 128,034 miles recorded. The gap between the 22 January 2022 test at 105,306 miles and the 1 February 2023 pass at 117,066 miles shows about 11,760 miles covered in that year, a slightly higher but unremarkable rate. From early 2023 to the January 2024 test the car added only 10,968 miles, confirming light recent use with no rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension fatigue. The sparse history gives the buyer little to chase on paper, yet a 20-year-old Zafira at this mileage still warrants a physical inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT did not capture. Check front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, examine rear coil springs for fracture, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper freedom given the age. Inspect sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as the test records no structural checks beyond the standard pass criteria. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglect, but the absence of advisories across four tests on a two-decade-old vehicle often means wear was within limits rather than absent. A pre-purchase check should confirm tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and steering gait at low speed to validate the clean record against real-world condition.
