2008 Vauxhall Zafira 2.2L Petrol · FP08 EJX

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following the July 2025 MOT pass at 96,684 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test cycle shows a pass and a separate fail on the same date with no defects logged, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2022 through 2024 without advisories. Mileage sits at 96,684 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,371 miles per year. The records show gentle accumulation: 82,181 miles in June 2022, 87,013 in May 2023, 93,471 in May 2024, then 96,684 by July 2025. A short gap exists between the May 2024 and July 2025 tests, but the low yearly figure suggests light use or extended standing periods. The clean MOT slate gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe condition, as low-mileage Vauxhalls of this era commonly develop hidden rust where testers found none. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for lip wear and seizure after the car's likely static intervals. Verify the July 2025 dual-entry anomaly with DVSA to confirm the live certificate status before purchase.
