2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · DP16 OJB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 50,754 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding consumables rather than proactive replacement. While the vehicle passed without major mechanical failures, the appearance of minor defects in the last two tests indicates that the owner addresses issues only when they fail an inspection rather than during routine preventative servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 4,514-mile interval between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 3,176 miles recorded in the final year of testing. This low mileage generally suggests less internal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on braking components and the degradation of rubber seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system. The February 2025 test at 47,578 miles flagged thin pads and pitted, scored discs. While these were likely replaced by the February 2026 test, the buyer must verify the current thickness of the pads and check the new discs for uneven wear. The recurring failure of the front windscreen wiper blade in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a lack of attention to minor exterior items, which warrants a thorough check of the wiper arms, blade fluid, and overall glass condition to ensure no hidden issues exist.
