2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DT02 ALE

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 June 2025 at 86,984 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since 2023, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard and avoids immediate mechanical failure or deferred safety repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 23,398 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate. The only anomaly in the record occurred in June 2022, where the vehicle failed a test at 54,562 miles but passed a re-test exactly twenty-four hours later at the same mileage. This suggests a minor, singular issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical fault or a pattern of neglect. While the clean MOT history is encouraging, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age in a thirteen-year Vauxhall Zafira. Check rubber components such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as low mileage does not prevent material degradation over time. Examine the underbody for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as MOT tests only flag significant rust once it reaches a specific threshold. Given the low mileage, also verify the condition of brake discs and tyres to ensure they have not suffered from warping or pitting during periods of standing.
