2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DF12 NLR

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 92,149 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean results. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical expectations for a 2012 vehicle. The records show 69,306 miles in October 2021, rising to 74,910 by November 2022, 81,628 in October 2023, 87,351 in October 2024, and 92,149 in October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 5,800 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA history is sparse in faults, showing no advisories across any entry, which suggests consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred correction. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs that a tester may not have flagged under current limits. At 14 years old and 92,149 miles, structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close visual checks. Given the clean record, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to pass standard. Verify service history matches the odometer and confirm tyre condition, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers during a road test.
