2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DF61 DJD

The 2025‑11‑10 MOT at 124,523 miles resulted in a pass, but the preceding 2025‑11‑07 test at 124,499 miles failed because the rear coil spring was fractured, indicating that recent suspension repair has restored roadworthiness while the underlying brake and tyre wear persists, showing a mixed maintenance trend rather than steady improvement. Mileage has climbed from 32,487 miles in 2016 to 124,523 miles in 2025, averaging roughly 8,900 miles per year, which is typical for a 14‑year‑old vehicle; however the record contains irregular jumps, such as the drop from 79,887 miles in 2020 to 71,608 miles in 2021 and a rapid increase of about 10,700 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests, suggesting periods of heavier use or possible odometer inconsistencies. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension components, especially the arm pin, bush and any replacement coil spring, verify that the rear brake discs show no excessive pitting and that pads are above the wear limit, examine tyre tread depth and edge wear, and check the floorpan and sub‑frame for corrosion that could affect structural integrity, while also confirming that the exhaust system is leak‑free after the previous emission failures.
