2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FH11 FNP

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 2 October 2025 at 86,203 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being administrative failures on the same test dates in 2023 and 2024 that carried no recorded defects. These paired pass-and-fail entries on 26 September 2023 at 77,432 miles and 7 October 2024 at 82,502 miles suggest paperwork or process issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the vehicle passed with zero advisories immediately after each failure. Recorded mileage sits at 86,203 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,747 miles per year. The annual increments are modest and consistent: 5,070 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, then 3,701 miles to October 2025. Low yearly use of this order often means longer stationary periods, which can encourage corrosion on structural members and flat spots on tyres, though the record shows no such advisories flagged. The clean slip history gives little to challenge, but sparse defect data means the underlying condition of consumables and structure is unverified by the tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen years. The absence of advisories across five tests does not rule out creeping wear hidden by low mileage. Examine subframes and sills for corrosion, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking from age and standing, and test the handbrake for binding calipers after prolonged inactivity. The Zafira's record implies a lightly used, basic-maintained example rather than a neglected one, but the clean MOT sheets leave mechanical proof to a physical survey.
