2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · HV09 TLJ

This 2009 Vauxhall Zafira presents in a stable mechanical condition with a clean maintenance trajectory, culminating in an unconditional pass on 2025-02-10 at 98,389 miles. The absence of advisories during the last three consecutive annual examinations at 82,976 miles, 92,569 miles, and 98,389 miles demonstrates attentive upkeep, though both the 2023 and 2024 sessions required a same-day re-test following initial failures that carried no recorded defect descriptions in the data. The vehicle has accumulated 98,389 miles over its seventeen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,788 miles annually. This low mileage rate reflects light urban or suburban usage patterns. Testing intervals remained consistent year on year without extended periods of statutory neglect, meaning mechanical components experienced steady use rather than damaging prolonged storage periods. Physical inspection should prioritize the chassis subframes and suspension geometry, checking for age-related corrosion and worn bushes given the Zafira platform history. The braking system requires thorough physical scrutiny during a pre-purchase walkaround to ensure discs and pads have sufficient remaining friction material despite the recent clear MOT history. Buyers must also inspect the condition of all four tyre sidewalls and tread depths, verifying that previous low-mileage idleness has not caused rubber perradiation or flat spotting.
