2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · FH13 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 254,286 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 21 January 2026 and 22 July 2025, the records show these were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting a proactive approach to keeping the vehicle legal. The mileage is exceptionally high for a 2013 model, averaging nearly 20,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and consistent, with the odometer climbing from 218,193 miles in January 2025 to 254,286 miles by January 2026. This represents over 36,000 miles covered in a single year, indicating heavy usage likely involving long-distance motorway commuting. Despite a clean MOT history devoid of recorded advisories, the extreme mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these typically degrade under such heavy loads. The condition of the brake discs and calipers requires verification to ensure no uneven wear or binding has developed. Given the age and usage profile of this Zafira, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential. The absence of MOT-flagged rust does not guarantee the absence of surface oxidation or degradation in hidden areas. A thorough check of the engine mounts and drivetrain for excessive play is recommended to ensure the mechanical integrity matches the clean test record.
