2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · GV57 FWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following specific mechanical interventions. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2023 at 95,098 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the primary concerns raised in previous years were addressed. This clean result suggests the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a functional standard since the component failures identified two years prior. At 19 years of age, the recorded mileage of 95,098 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 4,631-mile interval between September 2020 and September 2021, and another 4,230 miles between September 2021 and September 2022. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components or age-related-related corrosion. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension system, noting that the nearside rear shock absorber failed with a serious leak in September 2022 at 83,669 miles. Although this was rectified for the subsequent pass, the remaining shocks and bushes should be checked for fluid weeping or perished rubber. The 2021 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge suggests a past alignment issue or worn suspension components which should be verified to ensure the current tyres are not experiencing uneven wear. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough visual check for structural rust on the sills and subframe is essential, as these areas are common failure points for this model regardless of low mileage.
