2018 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · DL18 XNA

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 April 2026 at 49,185 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,148 miles, typical for an eight-year-old family car. The record moves from 39,126 miles on 31 May 2023 to 43,003 miles on 23 May 2024, then 46,386 miles on 29 May 2025, and 49,185 miles on 4 April 2026. The steps are even and low, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean sheet across every test suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The MOT captures only test-day condition, and components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and subframe corrosion can develop between annual checks without triggering an advisory. The May 2025 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same date at 46,386 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault, but the duplicate record warrants a DVSA data check. Given the low use and zero advisories, structural integrity and emissions look sound on paper. Inspect tyre sidewalls for perishing from light use, verify fluid intervals, and confirm the brake calipers are free. The history implies careful ownership, yet only a workshop inspection confirms the Zafira's true mechanical state.
