2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DN10 AAE

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 126,036 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is sound. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. A minor anomaly appears in January 2026 where the car failed on 21 January at 126,020 miles yet recorded no defects, before passing five days later, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,877 per year for a 16-year-old vehicle. The records show 120,860 miles in January 2024, 123,483 in January 2025, and 126,036 in January 2026, a consistent ~2,500-mile annual accumulation with no gaps or sudden spikes. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the four-year window. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe. Vauxhall Zafiras of this era are prone to hidden rust at chassis mounting points even when MOTs show clear. Verify the brake calipers are free and the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The repeated no-defect outcomes imply the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the unexplained January 2026 failure warrants a check of the test centre paperwork. No recurring wear trends emerge from the history to suggest impending major expenditure.
