2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FJ13 UDZ

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 81,367 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year MOT window, with every annual examination from February 2023 through to February 2026 resulting in a pass. A single failure appears in the record two days before the latest pass, dated 23 February 2026 at 81,333 miles, yet the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared retest within 48 hours. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,259 miles against the car's 13-year life, with the odometer climbing from 61,776 miles in February 2023 to 81,367 miles by February 2026. The yearly increments are consistent: 6,865 miles in 2024, 6,530 in 2025, and 5,946 to the final test. No gaps or abrupt accumulation show in the data. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate previous owners kept the exhaust emissions, brake discs, suspension bushes, and structural integrity within test limits without flagged wear items. Given the absence of recorded advisories or defects, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition warrant checking despite no tester flags. The two-day fail-retest sequence in February 2026 deserves clarification from the selling party, as DVSA systems normally log a reason for failure even when none appears here. Structural corrosion and underbody condition should be visually confirmed, as a 2013 Zafira is prone to floor pan and sill rust that an MOT pass does not rule out. The stable history implies reasonable upkeep, but low annual use can mask perished rubber components and seized calipers from prolonged standing. A pre-purchase examination by a Vauxhall specialist remains prudent.
