2005 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · FP05 WXS

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 117,709 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 20 November 2024 at 113,750 miles and 3 January 2023 at 104,363 miles also showed no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening mechanical faults across the observed period. Mileage sits low for a 2005 vehicle, accumulating roughly 5,605 miles per year to reach 117,709 miles. The records show steady annual use of around 4,000 to 5,000 miles between tests, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, listing only pass outcomes aside from an anomalous failed entry logged on 28 November 2023 at 108,949 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage. A buyer should physically verify the reason for the 28 November 2023 failure, since the tester logged no defects yet the system captured a fail before the same-day pass. This may reflect an administrative error or an unrecorded roadworthiness concern. Given the car's 21-year age, inspect structural integrity for corrosion on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation, and examine brake discs and calipers for binding after standing periods. No recurring faults appear in the history to suggest ongoing mechanical risk. The absence of advisories across four years implies previous owners addressed consumables before test dates, though low mileage may mask latent wear in rarely exercised components such as the exhaust emissions system and drivetrain seals.
