2012 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Petrol · LA12 UNN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 76,219 miles indicates a pass, yet recurring issues with the lighting and braking systems remain. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests, the persistence of the same mechanical advisories across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they trigger a failure rather than monitoring the underlying causes. At 76,219 miles, this 14-year-old Vauxhall reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,444 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,500 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,524 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This low annual mileage often leads to rubber components and seals degrading due to age, which is consistent with the perished tyres and water ingress noted in the 2023 records. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay for oil leaks, as a front oil leak has been flagged since at least 2023. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive, the recurring pitting and scoring of brake discs across all four wheels indicate the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing corrosion to affect the rotors. Check the nearside rear tail light assembly for continued water ingress, as this has been a recurring failure point that could to fail future tests if the unit is not replaced.
