2002 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · FJ02 SXM

The 2002 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2024-03-07 at 107,500 miles. Three consecutive MOT passes from 2022 through 2024 show no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance record indicates consistent annual compliance with no worsening mechanical faults emerging over the observed period. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 24-year-old vehicle. The Zafira covered only 3,920 miles between the 2022-03-03 test at 99,907 miles and the 2023-02-22 test at 103,580 miles, then a further 3,920 miles to the 2024-03-07 test at 107,500 miles. This equates to roughly 3,900 miles per year, well below typical averages. Sparse test data with clean sheets offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though long standing periods between use may hide intermittent corrosion or flat-spotting on tyres not captured in the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe structural integrity given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage. Standing time accelerates perished rubber components and underbody corrosion even when test passes show no active advisories. The brake discs and calipers warrant hand-checking for seizing after low-use winters. Verify the odometer against service stamps to confirm the low mileage is genuine rather than a failed recording. The clean MOT history gives no cause for rejection, but a 2002 MPV at this age demands scrutiny of exhaust emissions and rustproofing that a pass certificate alone will not guarantee.
