2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · LL09 FHV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean MOT results from the last several years. The most recent test on 27 May 2023 at 105,480 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car was maintained to a high standard prior to that point. While a failure occurred briefly on 20 May 2022, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass three days later suggest the owner was proactive in addressing mechanical requirements and maintained a consistent service standard. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,480 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 6,200 miles. This low-average usage is consistent with a secondary family vehicle. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between 2020 and 2021, and another 9,000 miles added between 2021 and 2023. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to excessive stress, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of rubber degradation and component oxidation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension components, as Zafiras of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear sills and wheel arches. Since the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for a test, and a thorough check for new surface rust or perished suspension bushes is essential. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as long periods of low mileage can sometimes lead to component seizing or fluid breakdown in lines. Given the low mileage relative to the age, the primary concerns are likely related to age-related wear rather than mechanical fatigue from high-intensity driving.
