2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · CY56 FTA

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 18 January 2023 at 138,017 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 22 December 2021 at 122,178 miles also showed a clean sheet. The failed entry logged on 22 December 2021 at the same mileage and date carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. On the evidence available, the maintenance trend is steady with no worsening indicators. The odometer sat at 122,178 miles in December 2021 and rose to 138,017 miles by January 2023. That 15,839-mile gain over roughly thirteen months equates to near 14,600 miles a year, almost double the lifetime average of 7,264 miles per year. The earlier period from the car's 2007 build to late 2021 absorbed the remaining 122,000 miles at a gentler pace. A sparse record with just two test years visible gives limited insight, but the clean results suggest the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's nineteen-year age and elevated recent use. The Zafira's subframe and sills are known corrosion zones; testers logged no structural advisories, yet the gap since the 2023 test leaves over three years of unrecorded wear as of July 2026. Verify the tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and handbrake efficiency against current limits before purchase. The same-day fail with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, as the record alone does not explain it.
