2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · KR09 JFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in October 2022 at 122,006 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical upkeep throughout its later life stages. However, given that the last recorded test took place nearly four years ago, the vehicle is significantly overdue for an MOT and requires an immediate professional inspection to confirm current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of use, with a notable gap of 20,150 miles between April 2018 and May 2019, followed by a more gradual increase of 13,448 miles between 2019 and 2022. This interval indicates the car was not subjected to long periods of neglect, though the relatively low annual mileage for its age suggests that age degradation of rubber-based components and seals may be more relevant than on high-mileage examples. While the history is remarkably clean, a buyer must account for the significant time elapsed since the last official check. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills to detect corrosion, which is a common failure point for this model regardless of mileage. The buyer should also inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these components perish over time even without use. Since no brake advisories were noted in the past, checking for surface rust on discs or the condition of caliper seals is essential to ensure no internal seizing has occurred during the recent period of inactivity or lower use.
