2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DL13 DUY

This 2013 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable overall maintenance trend, though the most recent test on July 3rd, 2025 at approximately 116,970 miles resulted in a failure. The absence of logged defects on the MOT database for that 2025 failure makes exact fault identification impossible from the certificate alone, but the vehicle subsequently lacks a recorded pass up to the present date in August 2026. This leaves a significant gap in the recent test history spanning over a year, meaning a prospective buyer must verify the current MOT status before purchase. The vehicle has accumulated 116,970 miles over its thirteen years on the road, averaging roughly 8,998 miles annually. This mileage accumulation sits right at the national average for a diesel or petrol family MPV of this era, indicating steady, consistent usage rather than heavy commercial deployment or prolonged periods of inactivity. The earlier examination history shows clean passes on May 25th, 2022, May 24th, 2023 following a initial failure on May 23rd, 2023, and another clean pass on May 27th, 2024. These successive clean test sheets suggest the previous owner generally addressed annual roadworthiness requirements promptly. Evaluating the physical condition requires careful scrutiny of common Zafira wear points during an in-person inspection. Because the historical digital record lists no specific advisories or minor defects across multiple years, the mechanical burden falls heavily on the physical inspection of chassis corrosion, suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs. Buyers should thoroughly examine the brake discs and pads for scoring or excessive lip formation, check the exhaust system integrity, and verify the operation of all seat mechanisms and ancillary cabin electronics typical of this high-capacity multi-seat configuration.
