2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DN10 AEM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-10-26 at 150,676 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date includes a failed test at 150,675 miles with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential data duplication or administrative error. Prior tests from 2021 and 2020 show similar pass/fail pairings without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the absence of an MOT since 2022 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness, as critical components like brakes, suspension, and emissions may not have been assessed in over four years. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 134,893 miles recorded in 2020 and 150,676 miles in 2022, aligning with an average of 9,417 miles annually. This suggests consistent use rather than prolonged inactivity, though no significant gaps or rapid increases are evident. The lack of consumable wear notes (e.g., tyres, wipers) in the MOT history implies minimal visible deterioration in these areas, but it does not confirm the absence of underlying issues. The sparse defect reporting limits insight into mechanical health beyond basic compliance. A physical inspection is essential to verify the vehicle’s condition, particularly for suspension components like coil springs and bushes, which degrade over time without regular checks. The rear brakes, exhaust system, and structural integrity should also be scrutinized, as these areas often develop issues unnoticed in MOT records. Buyers should seek a pre-purchase inspection to assess hidden wear, especially given the extended gap since the last MOT. The vehicle’s age and mileage warrant careful evaluation of its mechanical state beyond the recorded data.
