2006 Vauxhall Zafira 2.2L Petrol · GD06 AEB

The vehicle shows a stable but maintenance-heavy trend, with the most recent MOT passed on 28 November 2025 at 82,958 miles. While the car continues to pass, the record indicates a persistent pattern of addressing consumable wear and minor leaks rather than preventative maintenance. The November 2025 test flagged thinning rear brake pads and a damaged windscreen, mirroring issues seen in previous years. The mileage profile suggests very light usage for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,148 miles per year. There is a notable period of low activity between August 2021 and November 2025, where the mileage only increased by 1,704 miles over four years. Such low annual mileage can lead to component degradation through inactivity, evidenced by the recurring advisories for perishing or cracking tyres and the long-term presence of minor exhaust leaks and oil seepage. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and exhaust integrity. The records show a chronic cycle of thinning brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs dating back to at least 2019. The exhaust system has also been flagged for minor leaks and rear box corrosion since 2018, suggesting the structural integrity of the exhaust may be nearing the end of its service life. Further inspection is required regarding the engine and suspension. The history notes a slight oil leak in the engine area in 2016 and light oil misting from the nearside rear shock absorber in 2015. Given the low usage, the buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which often degrade faster when a vehicle sits idle than when it is driven regularly.
