2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · LO57 ACC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented history. The most recent MOT test on 19 June 2025 at 71,322 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests that minor mechanical issues are identified and rectified immediately to ensure compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three successful tests indicates the vehicle has been generally maintained despite the intermittent failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 50,602 miles and August 2024 at 62,119 miles, the car covered over 11,000 miles in ten months, representing a period of higher intensity use. The subsequent 9,203 miles covered leading to the June 2025 test shows a return to more moderate driving pace, which helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of inactivity. While the record shows clean passes, a buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in June 2025 and August 2024. Since these failures occurred only days before a pass, they likely involved minor consumable items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor brake adjustments. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these are common points of wear on this model at this age. Checking for brake caliper binding or uneven thickness on discs is also advisable to ensure the recent pass has not masked an underlying mechanical trend.
