2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · KB07 CXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in August 2022 at 148,000 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in August 2020, the immediate pass just ten days later suggests a minor issue that was promptly rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between April 2019 and August 2022, the car covered 7,310 miles, showing a steady and predictable rate of wear. However, there is a significant gap in data following the August 2022 test. As it is now June 2026, the vehicle has not been tested for nearly four years, which suggests either long periods of standing or infrequent de-registration that can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as vehicles of this age are prone to corrosion that may not have appeared in the last test. Given the lapse in recent testing, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure they have not perished. The braking system should also be inspected for binding calipers or excessive rust on the discs, as stationary vehicles often develop surface pitting and seized slider components.
