2018 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · FE18 CLZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 June 2025 at 23,789 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met the minimum safety standards without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years of testing. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 1,916 miles and May 2022 at 7,404 miles, the car covered only 5,488 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or very light use. The mileage accumulation remained steady thereafter, with 4,069 miles added between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage generally implies significantly less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension geometry compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the record is immaculate, a buyer must pay specific attention to components affected by low-use storage. The inspector should check for dry rot on tyres and perished rubber suspension bushes, as infrequent movement can cause rubber to harden and crack. The brake discs should also be inspected for surface corrosion or seized calipers resulting from the vehicle sitting for extended periods. Because the record shows no previous structural rust or exhaust corrosion, the chassis integrity appears sound, but a physical check of the underbody remains necessary to confirm no hidden oxidation has developed during its periods of inactivity.
