2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · FP60 VCU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable roadworthiness trend with the most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 157,344 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior examinations show a consistent clean sheet aside from an anomalous failure on 8 May 2024 at 141,699 miles that also listed no defects, immediately followed by a pass on 9 May 2024 at the same mileage. The maintenance history indicates no worsening mechanical issues and no recurring advisories across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2011 vehicle. The odometer advanced from 110,046 miles at the 19 May 2022 test to 126,749 miles by 18 May 2023, then to 141,699 miles by May 2024, and reached 157,344 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 15,000 to 16,000 miles per year between tests, slightly above the 10,490 annual average implied by the total but well within normal bounds for a family MPV. The sparse gap between the May 2024 fail and pass suggests the owner addressed a non-mechanical compliance matter swiftly rather than deferring repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components despite the absent MOT advisories. At fifteen years and 157,344 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links may exhibit silent degradation not captured on a pass certificate. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural concerns, yet brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions systems warrant hands-on checks for binding calipers or internal rust. Previous owners kept statutory testing clean, but such records reveal only snapshot condition. Focus scrutiny on underbody structural integrity and tyre sidewall condition during any viewing. The Zafira's high mileage means drivetrain mounts and steering rack gaiters could show wear absent from DVSA entries. Verify service history complements the MOT clean sheet before purchase.
