2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FH13 ABO

The 2026‑05‑20 MOT at 66,485 miles records a PASS, but the concurrent FAIL entry flags insufficient washer fluid, inoperative rear lamps, and an engine‑management light that indicates a malfunction, showing that the vehicle is not presently road‑worthy without corrective action. Recurrent MIL faults since 2022, persistent tyre‑edge wear, and an ongoing oil leak point to a maintenance trend that is neither stable nor improving; the pattern of repeated electrical and lighting defects suggests neglect of the vehicle’s ancillary systems. Mileage has risen from 43,273 miles in August 2021 to 66,485 miles in May 2026, averaging about 5,100 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old Zafira but has accelerated in the past two years, with an increase of roughly 6,700 miles between September 2024 and May 2026. Earlier periods show steady increments of 3,500–4,000 miles annually, while the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (48,913 to 54,629 miles) reflects a modest jump, indicating that the vehicle has been used more actively since 2022 rather than standing idle. A buyer should therefore inspect the engine‑management system for fault codes or sensor failures, verify the source and severity of the oil leak, and examine tyre wear patterns for signs of mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. Particular attention must be given to the functionality of all exterior lamps, the washer fluid delivery system, and the condition of the exhaust and structural components for any corrosion that could compromise safety.
