2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · DC04 DCC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 January 2025 at 227,267 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean records over the last five years suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety issues before they reached a failure threshold, indicating a reliable level of ongoing vehicle maintenance. The mileage pattern reflects highly consistent annual usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 218,053 miles and January 2025 at 227,267 miles, the car covered roughly 9,200 miles. While the total mileage of 227,267 miles is high for a seventeen-year-old Zafira, the regularity of the accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to more rapid degradation of seals and corrosion of brake components. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear components typical of high-mileage Vauxhall models. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often fail at this mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity—specifically the sills and wheel arches—is essential to ensure that corrosion has not developed in areas the MOT tester may not have prioritized.
