2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DF13 FYT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in November 2022 at 78,260 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met minimum standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in late November 2020, the subsequent clean records suggest that any identified issues were addressed promptly by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the car covered 8,089 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. However, there is a significant gap since the last recorded MOT in November 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is now over three years overdue for its annual test, which increases the risk of undetected degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, or structural corrosion that was not captured in the previous data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear with age rather than just mileage. Given the thirteen-year age of this Zafira, close attention is required regarding structural integrity around the sills, wheel arches, and mounting points where rust is common on this model. The suspension should be checked for perished bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from material fatigue. Because the MOT record is outdated, a thorough check of brake caliper condition and tyre age is essential to ensure no significant faults have developed during the extended period without official testing.
