2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DA12 ETD

The Vauxhall Zafira shows a currently roadworthy status following the April 2025 test at 112,159 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any of the last five entries. A failed test on the same date in April 2025 with no defects listed suggests an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical concern, mirroring an identical pattern from September 2023 at 102,233 miles. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging around 8,011 miles per year against the 112,159 miles recorded. The gap between the September 2023 test at 102,233 miles and the April 2024 pass at 103,445 miles shows only 1,212 miles covered in seven months, implying a period of limited use. From April 2024 to April 2025 the car added 8,714 miles, returning to expected annual use. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, recording no corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust emission failures at any stage. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the history, the previous owners appear to have presented the car for test in a condition meeting minimum standards without outstanding wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Zafira weak points not captured by a clean MOT, specifically front suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion. Verify the brake disc thickness and caliper operation in person, as these components degrade without always triggering a tester defect at the pass threshold.
