2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · EX64 ODT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 26 August 2025 at 81,290 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after addressing recurring faults identified in previous years. While the car failed in both 2024 and 2025 due to an inoperative engine management indicator light, the most recent test resulted in no recorded defects. This indicates that the owner successfully rectified the underlying electrical or mechanical fault before the final retest. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,774 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 68,305 miles and September 2024 at 74,884 miles, the car covered 6,579 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The subsequent 6,406 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test confirms a regular driving habit, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the engine management system, as the repeated failure of the MIL light suggests a potential sensor or wiring harness issue that may have been temporarily cleared rather than fully overhauled. Given the offside rear tyre failure noted in 2024, the current set of tyres should be checked for uneven wear or aged rubber. Since the record does not mention structural corrosion or brake advisories, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common Zaf components that typically begin to show wear at this age.
