2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CY10 BZX

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 124,579 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 9 November 2023 at 110,026 miles closed the same day with a subsequent pass and no defects listed, indicating a clerical or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 vehicle. The record shows 100,755 miles in November 2022, rising to 110,026 by November 2023, then 120,349 in November 2024 and 124,579 in November 2025. That equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation or dormant gaps. The clean advisory columns across all entries suggest the previous owner kept on top of consumables and avoided presenting the car with worn tyres or failed emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of age invites structural corrosion on sills, subframes and suspension mounting points even when testers logged no advisories. Check the front coil springs and lower arm bushes for age-related cracking, and confirm the brake discs and calipers are free from lip wear or seizing after a low-use final year of only 4,230 miles. The absence of recorded faults points to reasonable upkeep rather than concealed defects. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on evidence of routine servicing, freshness of tyres and wiper blades, and any aftermarket exhaust or suspension repairs that the MOT does not capture.
