2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DF10 FHU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean test record culminating in the 7 June 2025 examination at 51,870 miles, where the tester recorded no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the five available annual tests shows consistent compliance, neither worsening nor improving because each pass returned fault-free. The vehicle cleared every assessment from 2021 through 2025 without mechanical or structural flags. The odometer trace reveals exceptionally low utilisation for a sixteen-year-old MPV. In the 2021 test on 21 August the car showed 47,895 miles; by the 2025 test it reached 51,870, a total gain of 3,975 miles over four years, equating to roughly 994 miles per annum. Such sparse accumulation suggests prolonged storage periods, with the longest gap between tests being the 2022 examination on 13 August following the prior 2021 date, yet mileage rose only 1,340 miles in that interval. The record remains clean and free of sudden jumps that would indicate rental or high-load use. Previous owners evidently adhered to scheduled testing and addressed any required work before each deadline, as evidenced by zero failures and no minor consumable oversights logged. A fault-free history implies basic upkeep was not skipped, though the low standing mileage may have masked intermittent issues like perished suspension bushes or surface corrosion not present on test day. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, brake calipers and subframe integrity given the Zafira's age. Particular attention belongs on underside structural points and brake disc condition, as moisture from long idle spells can promote rust unseen during a pass. The tester noted no exhaust emissions concerns across the timeline, but a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewalls and wiper function remains sensible despite absence of advisories. This record supports a sound mechanical baseline, subject to confirmation of present condition.
