2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · FP17 RNN

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 101,203 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical concerns, or escalating wear across the documented history. Annual mileage averages roughly 11,245 miles against the car's nine-year age, which is typical for the sector. The records expose a sharp usage shift rather than steady driving. Between the 28 February 2023 test at 38,132 miles and the 22 February 2024 test at 65,792 miles the car covered 27,660 miles in one year, then eased to 18,201 miles by February 2025 and 17,210 miles by March 2026. Prior to 2023 the car was lightly used, posting only 30,614 miles in February 2022 and 38,132 miles a year later. The clean MOT sheets across this span indicate previous owners addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high-mileage year from 2023 to 2024 placed added load on drivetrain and running gear. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA data is favourable, yet standing moisture and undertray grime can hide early rust on sills and subframes that a road test would reveal. Given five unbroken passes and no flagged defects, the Zafira's recorded history implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Verify the odometer against service stamps and scrutinise tyre sidewall dates, as the MOT recorded no wiper or tread advisories that might otherwise signal skipped basic care.
