2004 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FG54 POV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The final recorded test conducted on October 4, 2021 at 105,617 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a period of minor instability in 2019 and 2020, but the previous owner proactively addressed identified faults to secure a clean certificate. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the October 2021 test and the current date of June 2026, meaning the vehicle has not been officially tested in nearly five years. This low mileage suggests light use, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished perish seals, and brake fluid contamination. The accumulation of 6,670 miles between September 2020 and October 2021 shows consistent but infrequent usage during that final interval. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as Vauxhall models of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills and rear arches. Given the long lapse since the last MOT, the braking system should be checked for surface rust on the discs and signs of seized calipers. The suspension bushes and split boots also require scrutiny for cracking or tearing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related material rot rather than mechanical wear.
