2007 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · KK07 MGV

The vehicle shows a recent pass in the May 2026 test at 98,898 miles, following a failure just two days prior. The maintenance trend appears somewhat reactive rather than preventative. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the failure on 27 May 2026 for a fractured offside front coil spring and a worn nearside rear tyre indicates that components are being addressed only when they reach a point of failure. This pattern of addressing faults at the MOT threshold suggests a history of minimum required upkeep. The vehicle has covered 98,898 miles over its 19-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,205 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with the recorded data, showing steady, incremental increases in distance between tests. For example, the jump from 84,715 miles in May 2021 to 91,093 miles in May 2022 shows a modest 6,378-mile increase. Such low usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with shock absorbers and suspension parts. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system and braking components. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with coil springs, with failures recorded in May 2017, May 2022, and May 2026. This recurring fault suggests the suspension may be nearing the end of its service life. The tester also flagged multiple instances of pitted or scored brake discs and thinning pads, most notably during the May 2023 test at 96,999 miles. The history of misting shock absorbers in 2021 and 2023 indicates that the damping system has required attention. Although the May 2026 pass suggests these issues were resolved or are currently stable, the tendency for components like anti-roll bar linkages and tyres to fail at the MOT station implies that a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the condition of all bushings, dampers, and tyre tread depths to ensure no further immediate maintenance is required.
