2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · GX09 DBV

The 2024‑03‑27 MOT at 169,025 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards. The alternating pass and fail pattern in March 2023 and March 2024, followed by a clean pass in March 2024, suggests that any previously flagged issues were rectified before the latest test, and the maintenance record shows a stable trend rather than a clear improvement or deterioration. The mileage has risen from 153,095 miles in the March 2022 test to 169,025 miles in the March 2024 test, an increase of roughly 15,930 miles over two years, or about 7,965 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age of 17 years and the average annual mileage of 9,943 miles. No large gaps appear between tests; each inspection occurred within a year of the previous one, confirming consistent use. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, and examine the chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could affect structural integrity. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive emissions, and tyre tread depth should be measured, as the history shows no explicit tyre‑related failures but regular use can accelerate wear.
