2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · GL62 OXH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in December 2021 at 100,694 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor failure regarding an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This indicates a superficial electrical fault rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The data suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard level of compliance throughout the recorded period. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression from 49,877 miles in 2017 to over 100,000 miles by late 2021. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often leads to perished seals or brake corrosion. However, since the last recorded MOT was performed in December 2021, the vehicle is currently over four years overdue for its annual test, necessitating an immediate inspection to verify its current state of repair. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the previous successful tests, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to high-mileage wear that the MOT does not always catch. A buyer must check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade on the Zafira at this age. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for thinning or pitting, especially if the vehicle has sat without a test for several years. Furthermore, checking the structural integrity of the chassis and rear sills is vital to ensure no significant corrosion has developed since the last official check.
