2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · FH08 XEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2024 at 128,521 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a period of consistent mechanical maintenance. This follows a brief failure in May 2021 at 107,779 miles, which was rectified immediately as the vehicle passed the re-test just six days later. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 7,140 miles per year. Between May 2021 and January 2024, the car covered 20,742 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive heavy-duty operation. The intervals between tests, such as the 9,375 miles driven between February 2023 and January 2024, suggest a regular driving schedule which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals from inactivity. Despite the clean MOT records, the age of the Zafira necessitates a physical focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of suspension bushings. A buyer should specifically inspect for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points for Vauxhall models of this era. Since the record does not flag recurring brake or tyre issues, a manual check of caliper seals and the condition of coil springs remains advisable to ensure no hidden wear has developed between the annual tests.
