2011 Vauxhall Zafira Energy 1.6L Petrol · JIG 5172

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-26 at 120,288 miles confirmed it passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-01-30 to 2023-12-17 also showed no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The single failure in 2022-10-26 at 99,052 miles recorded no defects, which may reflect a technical anomaly or minor non-critical issue. Overall, the absence of recurring faults implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, with no immediate mechanical risks identified. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,019 miles annually. A notable gap between 2022-10-26 and 2023-12-17 saw mileage rise from 99,052 to 104,495 miles over 14 months, suggesting intermittent use or periods of inactivity. Subsequent tests show steady growth, with 10,629 miles added between 2025-01-30 and 2026-02-26. This pattern does not indicate excessive wear but warrants scrutiny of components likely affected by infrequent operation, such as suspension bushes and brake calipers. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with age. The exhaust system and corrosion in underbody panels should also be checked, given the vehicle’s age. While no brake-related defects were recorded, the absence of detailed notes on brake discs or pads means a physical inspection is essential. The lack of advisories on tyres or steering components is reassuring, but a thorough check of fluid levels and engine mounts is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
