2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · FN61 NEY

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent test on 28 February 2023 at 223,913 miles where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests show no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared every recorded examination without outstanding issues, indicating no worsening pattern in its test history. The recorded mileage stands at 223,913 miles against a 2011 registration, equating to roughly 14,928 miles per year and placing this estate in the high-use bracket for its fifteen years. The gap between the October 2021 test at 167,970 miles and the March 2022 test at 183,687 miles shows about 15,700 miles in under five months, a period of heavy accumulation. From March 2022 to February 2023 the odometer advanced a further 40,226 miles. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with only a failed test on 3 March 2022 at 183,687 miles that listed no defects and immediately passed on the same day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points given the age and high mileage. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed substantial cyclic loading across 223,913 miles and merit physical measurement. The clean MOT record provides no evidence of binding calipers or exhaust emissions breaches, but the absence of advisories at this mileage implies the tester found nothing reportable rather than confirming component life remaining. Given the rapid accumulation between 2021 and 2023, verify the service history covers cambelt, coolant, and transmission fluid intervals. The same-day fail and pass in March 2022 reflects no owner neglect in the defect data, yet the overall record is too limited to confirm long-term care of drivetrain components beyond the presented tests.
