2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · FH14 MYM

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 36,591 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 19 October 2024 at 33,346 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2014 registration. From the 2022 test at 27,410 miles through to October 2025 at 36,591 miles, the car covered just 9,181 miles across three years, averaging roughly 3,049 miles per year. The only anomaly is the failed test on 12 October 2024 at 33,338 miles, reversed by a pass seven days later at 33,346 miles with no defects listed; this suggests an administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it promptly. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the full five-year history, no recurring wear trends emerge in the suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Low annual mileage combined with a clean MOT trail implies the previous keeper stored the car for extended periods and kept basic upkeep current, though standing time can conceal perished rubber components and corroded brake calipers not visible on a pass certificate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and binding brakes caused by disuse. The Zafira's chassis is known for rear suspension fatigue, so a ramp check of coil springs and trailing arm mounts remains prudent despite the unblemished test record.
