2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FL62 LOJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 at 65,592 miles showed a pass with no defects, but an identical failed test on the same date and mileage recorded no issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential data entry error, though the prior tests from 2024-2022 show consistent passes with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults identified across the last four annual inspections. No advisories or critical failures were noted, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,592 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 4,685 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation, which may lead to dry joints in suspension components like bushes or coil springs, or accelerated corrosion in the exhaust system. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with annual checks from 2022 to 2025, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into gradual wear. The 2025 test’s duplicate entries further complicate analysis, though no mechanical risks were flagged. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, particularly if the car has been stored in damp conditions. While no brake-related issues were recorded, the low mileage may mask wear on brake discs or calipers, which could benefit from a hands-on check. The absence of structural corrosion reports is positive, but visual inspection of underbody panels and wheel arches is advised to confirm integrity. Overall, the MOT history suggests compliance with roadworthiness standards, but age and usage patterns necessitate a thorough pre-purchase examination.
