Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a current roadworthy status with a pass recorded at the most recent test on 17 February 2022 at 139,694 miles, and the limited history shows a stable maintenance trend with no advisories or defects logged at that examination. Two days earlier on 15 February 2022 at 139,693 miles the vehicle failed the test, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent pass confirms the car left the test bay cleared of notified issues. At roughly 15 years old the Zafira carries 139,694 miles, equating to about 9,300 miles per year which is typical for a 2011 family estate. The record shows almost no mileage movement between the two February 2022 tests, just one mile, and no further entries exist beyond that date. A four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026 means the available data is sparse and clean but now stale; the absence of tests since early 2022 leaves the current mechanical state unverified by DVSA. A buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase given the expired test coverage. The history flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion problems, yet the unexplained February 2022 failure warrants confirmation that no hidden structural or emissions fault prompted it. Check underneath for chassis rust and examine the exhaust and tyres for deterioration from likely standing since the last recorded use. Given the single-mileage anomaly and clean pass, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance, though the long dormancy suggests the car may have seen little care in recent years. Verify the odometer against service stamps and assess brake binding or fluid condition from prolonged inactivity.
