2003 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · KG03 VLD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 20 November 2025 at 203,952 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate rectification following failures. The most recent failure in early November 2025 occurred just fourteen days prior to the pass, suggesting that a specific defect was identified and addressed quickly by the owner to ensure the vehicle remained legal for the road. With a recorded mileage of 203,952 miles over 23 years, the car averages approximately 8,867 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical annual usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 6,600 miles covered in the twelve months following that test. This regular use generally suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent fluid degradation and the drying of rubber components like seals and bushes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as high-mileage Vauxhall models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframes. While the recent tests show no active advisories, the mileage indicates significant wear on suspension components, specifically control arm joints and shock absorbers. Given the failures recorded in 2024 and 2025, a thorough check of the brake system for binding calipers or worn discs is necessary to ensure the repairs made after those tests were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes.
