2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · DV06 AEY

The 2006 Vauxhall Zafira, with a recorded mileage of 161,708 miles, passed its most recent MOT test on 2021-11-30. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no major defects recorded in the past two tests. However, recurring advisories on corroded brake pipes and worn suspension components indicate potential long-term issues that should be monitored. The mileage pattern of approximately 8,085 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age. Notable gaps in the MOT record are sparse, although there is a 20-month gap between the 2010 and 2012 tests. A rapid increase in mileage occurred between 2010 and 2012, with 26,138 miles accumulated over a two-year period. This may suggest periods of increased use or potential neglect during that time. The owner's failure to address the nearside rear tyre's exposed ply or cords in 2010 is also concerning. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking systems in person, paying particular attention to the corroded brake pipes and worn suspension components. The history of nearside rear tyres wearing close to the legal limit and nearside rear coil springs corroding suggests potential structural issues that require closer examination. Additionally, the failed 2017 test highlighted excessive play in the nearside and offside track rod end ball joints, which should be checked for any signs of wear or damage.
