2004 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FP54 KUG

The Vauxhall Zafira failed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2021 at 130,908 miles, with the DVSA record showing no specific defects logged against that failure. This leaves the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed beyond that date, and the maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving due to the single entry and the absence of advisory or failure detail. The recorded mileage of 130,908 at the 2021 test equates to roughly 5,950 miles per year across the car's 22-year life, which is low for a 2004 family MPV. The history shows no earlier tests, so we cannot track accumulation rates or gaps. The identical odometer figure to the vehicle's stated recorded mileage suggests no further use has been logged since that failed test nearly five years ago, implying the car may have stood unused or only covered unrecorded short distances. A buyer must treat this Zafira as unroadworthy until a fresh test proves otherwise. The 2021 failure with no defects noted points to either a administrative omission or a fault the tester did not itemise; in person, inspect structural integrity for corrosion, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related degradation, and verify brake discs and calipers are free from binding after the long idle period. Given the low annual mileage and likely prolonged storage, expect perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized handbrake mechanisms. Confirm the exhaust emissions and fuel system are sound before any road use, as stagnant fuel systems on a 22-year-old Vauxhall often present hidden mechanical risk.
