2002 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · EU02 AEV

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on February 25 2025 at 143,267 miles. While the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing tests suggests the vehicle is currently mechanically sound. This indicates the owner is proactive enough to rectify faults immediately to meet testing standards rather than allowing mechanical degradation to accumulate over time. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 143,267 miles represents a relatively low annual average of approximately 5,969 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely seen light duty or has remained stationary for extended periods. The interval between the April 2023 test at 133,820 miles and the March 2024 test at 139,248 miles shows an accumulation of roughly 5,400 miles, which aligns with the overall trend. This consistent mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components compared to high-distance vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as older Vauxhall models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Despite the clean advisory history, low age means rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake lines may be perished or cracking from age. Given the recent failures noted prior to passing tests, a thorough check of the brake calipers for binding and the exhaust system for thinning is necessary to ensure the issues causing previous failures have been permanently resolved.
