2004 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · FA54 ODY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection without recorded defects. The latest MOT test on 24 July 2024 at 171,592 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories, following a failure exactly one day prior. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to maintain a valid certificate, indicating a consistent level of attention to MOT requirements despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the Zafira covered 4,656 miles, which represents a lower-than-average annual rate during that specific biennial period. This lower accumulation often reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushings if the car sits stationary for long intervals. The records are regular, providing a reliable data set for the vehicle's operational history. Given the clean nature of the most recent passes, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as corrosion on Vauxhall models of this era is a common failure point that may not always appear until advanced. The buyer should specifically check for rust on the sills and rear suspension mounting points. Since the history does not show recurring mechanical failures or brake issues, verifying the condition of the brake calipers and the state of the coil springs is essential to ensure the vehicle remains as sound as the MOT records suggest.
