2014 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · LS64 OGR

Recurring electrical and emissions faults define this vehicle's recent history, specifically a pattern of failures related to the engine management light (MIL) and persistent tyre pressure monitoring (TPM) warnings. While the vehicle achieved a pass on 9 December 2025, it required a prior failure correction for the MIL, mirroring a similar failure sequence in December 2024. This suggests a chronic issue with the engine electronics or emissions system that has required repeated intervention to maintain roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 78,408 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,534 miles per year. This accumulation rate is typical for a family vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent usage profile. Mechanically, this means the drivetrain and chassis have not been subjected to extreme high-mileage fatigue, nor has the vehicle suffered from the degradation typically associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should prioritise a diagnostic scan of the engine control unit to determine the nature of the recurring MIL failures and ensure no latent faults remain. During the test drive, listen for erratic idling or feel for any hesitation during acceleration, which could indicate unresolved issues with the sensors or emissions components flagged in previous tests. Particular attention should be paid to the dashboard to confirm the tyre pressure monitoring light is no longer illuminated, as this has been a recurring advisory since November 2023. Evaluation of the braking system and tyre condition is essential given the advisories for thin rear brake pads and worn front tyres recorded in late 2024. Check for any pedal judder or a soft pedal feel that might indicate worn pads or binding calipers. Inspect the current tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of the front tyres, which could point to underlying suspension alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
