2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · DV57 FBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent test in October 2024 at 125,320 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a clean pass in October 2023, indicating that while the car occasionally fails minor items when presented for testing, it is capable of maintaining a roadworthy state once de-listed issues are addressed. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 125,320 miles averages to approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for an older MPV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,700 miles covered between September 2022 and October 2023, and nearly 11,000 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals, despite the high age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Vauxhall Zafiras are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. The recurring failures noted in 2022 and 2023 without specific recorded defects often imply minor item-related failures like bulbs, wipers, or tyre tread issues that were rectified immediately prior to retesting. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, and check the brake calipers for binding or pitting, as these components age with time regardless of the relatively low mileage.
