2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · FM14 TZX

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 68,938 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. The day prior, on 22 October 2025 at the same mileage, the vehicle failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year record from December 2022 to October 2025, every test either passed or failed without recorded defects, showing no worsening pattern of wear or recurring advisories. The odometer shows 68,938 miles against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 5,745 miles per year. The Zafira is a low-mileage example for its age. Mileage moved from 55,053 in December 2022 to 60,202 in December 2023, then 65,575 in October 2024, and 68,938 by October 2025. Annual use stayed near 4,500 to 5,400 miles with no sudden accumulation. Such low, steady running often means long stationary periods, which can age rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and tyres through cracking rather than tread wear. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, suspension, brake, or exhaust advisories across the timeline. A clean sheet implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the 2025 failure with no defects suggests a paperwork or presentation slip rather than neglect. Buyers should still verify in person what MOT data cannot show. Inspect the subframe and sills for structural rust given the car's age and likely damp standing. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after storage, and confirm tyre sidewall condition despite adequate tread. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible even with this unbroken pass history.
