2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · KP58 HZB

The most recent MOT record from August 2022 shows a pass following a failure earlier that same month. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears to be worsening in terms of component deterioration. While the 2022 pass addressed the fractured offside rear coil spring and the inoperative registration plate lamp, several advisories from the previous year persist. The record shows an ongoing issue with headlamp patterns dating back to 2021, and the 2022 test introduced new concerns regarding a missing power steering reservoir cap and deteriorated front subframe rear bushes. The vehicle has covered 188,313 miles over its lifespan, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing between 2016 and 2022, though there is a notable absence of recorded data between August 2022 and the current date of August 2026. This four-year gap in the provided records means the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through these specific documents. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering systems. The 2022 test flagged deteriorated front subframe rear bushes, and the 2017 record noted deterioration in the offside front suspension arm rubber bush. These recurring issues with rubber components suggest significant wear in the suspension geometry. The tester also identified an oil leak in both 2018 and 2022; although described as not excessive, the persistence of this leak warrants a close examination of the engine and subframe area for signs of worsening seepage. Braking components and lighting also require scrutiny. The 2018 test recorded pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear, and the 2021 test noted thin rear brake pads. Furthermore, the long-standing advisory regarding poor headlamp patterns since 2021 suggests potential issues with lens clarity or beam alignment. Finally, the damaged rear centre seat belt clasp casing noted in 2022 remains an unresolved advisory that should be checked for functional integrity.
