2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FP09 DYB

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy on the strength of the most recent test, where the tester passed it at 70,071 miles on 13 June 2024 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 2021 through 2024 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. One anomaly sits in the record: on 13 June 2024 the vehicle also shows a failed test at the identical mileage of 70,071, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects. This points to an administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm the V5C and MOT certificate match the live status. Annual mileage averages just over 4,100 miles against 17 years of age, marking this as a low-use vehicle. The odometer moved from 55,869 miles at the June 2021 test to 60,671 by May 2022, then 65,016 by June 2023, and 70,071 by June 2024. That is a steady ~4,500 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The clean sheet across all five entries suggests previous owners kept basic consumables within tolerance, though sparse recording means hidden wear is not ruled out. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the structural and mechanical picture looks sound on paper. Low standing mileage can still mask perished rubber mounts or surface rust on sills and subframes that a static test will not always catch. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for structural rust and check the brake calipers for binding after the car has stood. Verify the twin 13 June 2024 entries at the DVSA portal before purchase. The zero-advisory history implies careful upkeep, but a 2009 MPV deserves a ramp inspection of exhaust emissions hardware and suspension arms regardless of the clean record.
