2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · DN08 MOU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 1 February 2025 at 133,776 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual passes from January 2023 through February 2025, at 107,711, 118,501 and 133,776 miles respectively, show no advisories or escalating faults. The vehicle's mechanical condition appears consistent for an eighteen-year-old family hatch. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,400 miles, typical for the age. The gap between the October 2021 test and the January 2023 test spans fifteen months rather than twelve, yet only 4,713 miles accrued in that period, indicating light use. A failed test on 16 October 2021 at 102,994 miles was followed three days later by a pass at 102,998 miles with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting a procedural or documentation rejection rather than a substantive mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current without deferring consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and subframe corrosion, as an MOT pass at this age does not certify freedom from incipient structural rust. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for wear given the low annual mileage, which can promote binding from standing. Exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be verified, though no advisories flag these in the record. The absence of recurring defects across five years of testing points to a low-risk purchase from a documentation standpoint. Confirm service history against the 133,776-mile odometer and inspect for undocumented accident repair before commitment.
