2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · LT10 AEC

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent recorded pass occurred on 4 November 2022 at 130,730 miles. Because there are no entries for 2023, 2024, 2025, or 2026, the car has been without a valid MOT for over three years. This gap represents a critical unknown regarding its current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 6,010 miles between November 2020 and November 2021, and a further 4,505 miles by November 2022. This average of roughly 8,171 miles per year suggests steady use rather than excessive wear or prolonged stagnation. The record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across five entries, which is rare for a sixteen year old Vauxhall. The absence of recorded failures or advisories suggests a history of proactive maintenance or very light duty. However, the long period of inactivity since November 2022 introduces specific risks. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking system for binding calipers or seized discs and check the tyres for flat spots or perishing due to age. Given the age of the Zafira, structural corrosion around the sills and suspension mounting points remains a primary concern despite the clean MOT history. The engine and drivetrain should be thoroughly vetted for leaks or degradation that may have occurred while the vehicle sat idle. A full mechanical sympathy check is essential to ensure the car has not deteriorated during its three year absence from the testing circuit.
