2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · EO63 RXY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 83,275 miles passed with new advisories for pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside a non-excessive oil leak. While these did not cause a failure, the presence of these issues suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent further degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old family vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 21,519 miles, indicating a steady usage profile rather than long periods of inactivity. The clean record from 2022 at 61,756 miles suggests the vehicle was once in good condition, but the subsequent entries for tyre faults and brake components indicate that wear and tear are now beginning to accelerate as the vehicle reaches higher mileage intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in late 2025, as even minor leaks can indicate failing gaskets or seals that may become costly over time. The recurring issues with front tyres in 2023 and 2024 suggest a history of neglecting basic consumables until they reached legal limits, so a thorough check of the current tyre tread and alignment is essential. Furthermore, the pitted rear brake discs should be measured for thickness and surface integrity to ensure the braking system remains effective and that the calipers are not seizing.
