2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · FL66 TYS

The 2016 Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 February 2026 at 111,526 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The brief failure logged on 14 February 2025 at 103,191 miles shows no defects recorded, with the vehicle passing later that same day at 103,192 miles, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,150 miles, typical for a ten-year-old family vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 76,820 miles in February 2023, 91,307 in February 2024, 103,192 in February 2025, and 111,526 in February 2026. No gaps or unusual spikes appear in the data. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests suggests the previous owner kept on top of consumables and avoided letting advisories lapse into failures. With no advisories or defects ever flagged, the Zafira shows no recorded history of worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, binding calipers, or exhaust emission breaches. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes do not certify component life remaining beyond the test date. The absence of recorded faults offers reassurance, but high-mileage Vauxhalls of this era are prone to stealth rust at sills and subframe mounts unseen in a pass result. Given the consistent clean record and average use, this vehicle reflects disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Verify service history matches the odometer and check for uneven tyre wear or steering play before purchase, as these items fall outside MOT defect capture when within tolerance.
