2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · DB09 ALS

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 118,775 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring mechanical concerns, and no structural or emissions issues across the available record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,900 miles, typical for a 2014 car of this type. The record tracks steady use: 95,860 miles in November 2021, rising to 103,996 by November 2022, 109,173 in October 2023, 113,241 in October 2024, and 118,775 in October 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the prior owner kept the car in regular service with consistent yearly testing. The clean sheets across all five entries suggest basic upkeep was maintained rather than deferred. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT history. The tester recorded no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, but annual tests capture only visible failings at the time. At 118,775 miles and twelve years old, consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition warrant verification. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes should be checked for hidden rust not picked up in the test bay. The absence of flagged defects points to a cared-for example rather than a neglected one. Previous keepers appear to have addressed wear before each test rather than letting items reach advisory status. Given the clean trail, the main risk is age-related degradation invisible to the MOT, not documented mechanical neglect.
