2011 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · HV61 ACZ

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on March 3, 2026, at 114,872 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car moved from consecutive failures in early 2024 and 2025 to a result with no recorded defects in the most recent inspection. This shift suggests that the current or recent owner has been proactive in addressing necessary repairs to bring the vehicle up to the required standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between January 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 5,364 miles, while a further 5,264 miles were logged between the March 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake-related corrosion. While the most recent test was clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025. Although the specific mechanical reasons for those failures are not detailed in the summary, recurring issues in this model often relate to wear on the suspension bushes, exhaust system, or braking components. Given the age of the Zafira, a thorough check for structural integrity on the sills and rear mounting points is essential to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the recent pass passes.
