2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FE09 CVK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass in November 2024 at 102,765 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates that the previous owner has successfully addressed prior issues to bring the car back to a passing standard. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the mechanical and structural integrity is currently being maintained at an acceptable level. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,765 miles represents an annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. This low-average usage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the November 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 7,400 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This regularity implies regular operation rather than long periods of stationary-related neglect. A physical inspection should focus on the specific causes of the failures in November 2022 and November 2023, although the records provided do not specify the exact components for those rejections. Given the age of the Zafira, the buyer must check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common failure areas for this model. The buyer should also inspect the rubber suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from material degradation over time rather than mechanical wear. Checking the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable to ensure the clean 2024 pass reflects a healthy braking system.
