2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DA07 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The last MOT conducted on May 17, 2023 at 106,014 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car was in a passing condition at that time. This follows a clean pass in November 2021, suggesting that the mechanical and structural condition remained consistent between those testing intervals. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,580 miles per annum. Data shows a period of minimal use between February 2019 (99,345 miles) and November 2021 (105,758 miles), where only 6,413 miles were covered over three years. While low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, long intervals can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods without regular movement. A physical inspection should focus on the structural areas previously noted in the February 2019 test. The tester previously identified corrosion on the offside rear seat belt anchorage and deterioration of the exhaust centre section. Although the vehicle passed in subsequent tests, the buyer must verify that the corrosion has not progressed into structural failure and that the exhaust system has been replaced or repaired. Additionally, the February 2020 failure due to a missing central rear seat belt and obstructed belts necessitates a thorough check that all seatting hardware is present and functioning correctly to ensure compliance with safety standards.
