2017 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer SRI NAV Turbo 1.4L Petrol · DS17 OAV

The overall roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently unstable , with a clear trend of worsening conditions. The most recent test on 2025-07-04 at 66,295 miles passed, but the vehicle failed a MOT on 2025-06-27 at 66,268 miles , a gap of nearly 27 miles that suggests the mechanical integrity of the chassis or suspension has degraded significantly over the past two years. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained a consistent level of operational readiness and is approaching the threshold for a serious mechanical review. The mileage record suggests a pattern of rapid accumulation that does not align with a typical 2017 model's expected usage profile. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 7,366 miles per year , which is consistent with its age, but the gap between the most recent test and the second failure is too large to be explained by standard wear and tear alone. The lack of a clear date for the 2025-06-27 test implies that no clear wear or damage was recorded, yet the vehicle failed on a date that is only 27 days after the most recent successful test. This gap, combined with the failure on a date that is only two months after the most recent successful test, strongly suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to severe mechanical stress or that a significant amount of time has passed since the last MOT without any recorded faults. Given the failure on 2025-06-27 at 66,268 miles , the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and brake systems immediately. If the vehicle is still in good condition, it may be possible to proceed with a roadworthiness test to assess the condition of the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain. However, if the vehicle has been in use since 2025-06-27 , the risk of a serious mechanical failure in the suspension or brakes is high. The vehicle has failed twice in a short period (June 2025 and February 2023), which suggests a pattern of recurring faults that could indicate a lack of regular maintenance or a lack of understanding of the vehicle's specific wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the brake discs and suspension bushings for corrosion or binding, as these are the most common causes of failure in vehicles with this mileage and age. If the vehicle is still in good condition, it may be possible to proceed with a roadworthiness test to assess the condition of the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain.
