2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · MA09 WHW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-11 at 108,737 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed passes with no recorded issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the same date includes a failed test with no defects listed, which may reflect administrative error or a non-technical failure. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the last four years implies the car has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,396 miles annually. Tests were conducted at roughly annual intervals, with mileage increasing by approximately 6,000–7,000 miles each year. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation were noted, and the record shows no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The lack of defects in all but the 2025-06-11 failed test suggests the vehicle has not experienced critical mechanical degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop over time. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system, though not flagged in MOT records, warrants scrutiny due to the car’s age. The failed MOT entry, while unexplained, highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
