2005 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · FN05 JGU

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a successful test on 13 September 2025 at 118,513 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car moved from two consecutive failures in early and midSeptember 2025 to a clean pass. While the recent failures indicate a period where mechanical attention was required, the final result suggests that the owner was willing to rectify the identified defects to bring the car up to legal standards. At 21 years of age, the recorded mileage of 118,513 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,643 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between the June 2024 test at 117,164 miles and the September 2025 test, with only 349 miles covered over fifteen months. This low annual mileage often indicates less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and brake components due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in 2024 and 2025. Although the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, common failure points on this Zafira generation include suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system corrosion. Given the age and low usage pattern, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and rear subframe is essential. You should also inspect the braking system for seized calipers or pitted discs, which frequently occur on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
