2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · DC65 YLA

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 19 January 2026 at 77,869 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The latest test showed no defects, and the preceding failure on 16 January 2026 at 77,868 miles listed no defects either, indicating a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed without advisories on 14 January 2025 at 73,858 miles and on 7 December 2023 at 68,245 miles. Annual mileage averages around 7,787 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2016 registered vehicle. The gap between the December 2023 test at 68,245 miles and the January 2025 test at 73,858 miles shows roughly 5,600 miles covered in just over a year, a modest figure. From January 2025 to January 2026 the odometer advanced only 4,011 miles to 77,869, suggesting lighter recent running or periods of standing. The record is sparse and entirely clean of advisories, offering no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT history. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm sound condition of coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity, merely that the tester logged nothing. The two zero-defect failures close together in January 2026 and January 2025 imply the vehicle may have been presented without required paperwork or minor non-mechanical items, not owner neglect of consumables. Given the low annual use and clean tests, previous keepers likely maintained basic statutory compliance. However, standing time inferred from low mileage can accelerate perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres. Verify underbody corrosion, brake caliper freedom, and suspension bush condition in person before purchase.
