2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · DY12 ABO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 125,556 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded advisories, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,968 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2023 test at 109,418 miles and the October 2025 test at 125,556 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The absence of recorded defects or advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension components for corrosion, as MOT testers may overlook minor surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes is advisable given the 125,556 mile odometer reading. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 11 September 2024 and 10 October 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, these likely relate to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. A physical inspection should focus on the current state of the tyres and wiper blades to ensure basic upkeep has continued since the last certificate was issued.
