2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FN56 RVP

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 176,169 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from February 2023 through February 2025 likewise passed clean. The duplicated 27 January 2023 entry at 155,514 miles shows one failed attempt followed by a pass on the same day with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 8,800 miles against the car's 2006 build date, a typical use rate for a 20-year-old family vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 155,514 miles in January 2023, 160,694 in February 2024, 168,723 in February 2025, and 176,169 by January 2026. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the sequence. The clean advisory columns across all tests suggest the previous keeper addressed wear items before each examination rather than letting minor faults accrue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and 176,000-mile history. The MOT record carries no flagged structural integrity issues, brake disc wear, or exhaust emission failures, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. Given the absence of advisories across four years, the Zafira's history implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Verify the bodywork and underseal condition in person, as 2006 Vauxhall chassis are prone to hidden rust that a pass certificate does not always capture.
