2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FH12 CSU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 21 January 2026 at 182,261 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from December 2022 onwards returning a pass or a same-day pass after the lone December 2024 failure. No advisories or worn consumables appear in the record, which suggests the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition acceptable to DVSA standards throughout its later life. At 14 years old the Zafira carries 182,261 miles, an average of roughly 13,019 miles per year and firmly high for its age. The odometer moved from 153,177 miles in December 2022 to 164,578 in December 2023, then 172,978 by December 2024, and 182,261 at the January 2026 test. That equates to steady 9,000 to 10,000 mile annual use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The clean sheet across five years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring visible defects. On 11 December 2024 the tester issued a fail at 172,978 miles yet recorded no defects, and the vehicle passed on the same date. Such an anomaly usually reflects an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain wear before purchase, as high mileage on a 2012 MPV accelerates fatigue in components the MOT may not capture in a pass year.
