2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · FL13 NNG

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 April 2025 at 97,291 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history shows a recurring pattern of same-day fail-then-pass outcomes that warrants scrutiny. On 7 April 2025 the car failed at 97,284 miles with no defects listed, then passed a week later. An identical sequence occurred on 20-21 November 2023 at 92,237 miles. These back-to-back failures with no recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than progressive mechanical decline. Recorded mileage sits at 97,291 against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 7,484 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The jump from 79,279 miles at the November 2022 test to 92,237 miles by November 2023 shows about 12,958 miles covered in that year, above the long-term average but not abnormal. A gap then follows to April 2025 with only 5,054 miles added, indicating lighter use in the final period. The sparse record carries no advisories across any entry, so wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion were never formally flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Zafira's age and the absence of any advisory history to confirm hidden rust is not present. The repeated no-defect failures point to possible documentation anomalies rather than resolved faults, so verify the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline. Check suspension components, coil springs, and exhaust emissions in person, as the clean MOT record offers no evidence these have been monitored or replaced.
