2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · FN60 YFW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent test on 24 January 2025 at 190,385 miles passed with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor or consumable-related issue was rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a defect-free status across all subsequent annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old estate car, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 32,677 miles, while the interval between January 2024 and January 2025 saw a slightly lower but typical increase of 18,294 miles. This steady usage indicates regular, long-distance driving rather than long periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent engine seals and braking components from drying out or corroding prematurely in low-mileage vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus on high-mileage mechanical components that naturally degrade over 190,000 miles. A physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these often wear out on Zafiras before failing an MOT. You should also check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT tester only flags significant rust once it reaches a threshold that compromises integrity. Testing the brake system for binding calipers and checking the condition of the drivetrain mounts will be prudent to ensure no hidden mechanical issues have been introduced since the last test.
