2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · GF08 AEX

The vehicle presents a broadly roadworthy status based on the most recent examination. On 1 April 2024 at 149,190 miles, the DVSA tester passed the Zafira with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads stable across the supplied history, showing consecutive passes and a single anomalous failure on 2 March 2023 that carried no listed defects. Mileage accumulation tracks the typical average for an 18-year-old MPV. The records show 126,844 miles on 8 January 2021, climbing to 134,039 by 21 January 2022, then 143,719 on 2 March 2023, 143,749 the following day, and 149,190 by April 2024. That spread equates to roughly 8,300 miles per annum with no abrupt spikes or long dormant periods. The sparse five-entry ledger offers limited depth, yet every presented test returned a clean sheet aside from the unexplained fail. The absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, discs, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion suggests previous owners corrected faults pre-test or the car avoided deeper scrutiny. Given the 2008 shell and 149,190 miles, a buyer should physically scrutinise subframe rust, wishbone bushes and brake component wear. The March 2023 failure with zero defects points to a possible documentation or presentation anomaly rather than mechanical defect, so verify the V5C and test certificate. Prior keepers logged only clear outcomes, implying routine statutory compliance but not confirmed proactive mechanical care. A physical inspection must cover tyres, wiper blades and fluid condition despite the lack of flagged consumable wear. The Zafira's age demands checking for corroded sills and fatigued suspension mounts that MOT entries did not capture.
