2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · KN14 VDR

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-03 recorded multiple tyre-related issues, including all four tyres worn close to the legal limit or damaged by cracking/perishing. The exhaust system also had a minor leak, which could indicate aging components. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly with tyres and exhaust integrity. A recurring pattern of tyre wear and damage spans over four MOTs, dating back to 2022. Tyres have consistently been near the legal limit or showing signs of deterioration, which may reflect either neglect in replacement or environmental factors affecting rubber longevity. Suspension components, such as bushings and coil springs, showed wear in 2023, but no critical failures were noted in later tests. The trend indicates stable but persistent issues rather than worsening conditions. While the 2025 MOT did not list major safety faults, the repeated tyre problems and exhaust leak highlight ongoing maintenance needs. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,242 miles over 12 years aligns with average usage, suggesting neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use. However, this does not rule out localized stress on components like tyres or suspension.
