2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · MK59 HBO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes over the last four years. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2022 at 137,401 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. Following a single failure in August 2019, the car has maintained a clean advisory record, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were successfully addressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year over its seventeen-year life. Between July 2020 and August 2022, the vehicle covered 6,712 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stationary storage. However, as the current date is June 2026, the last recorded MOT is now nearly four years out of date. This significant gap represents a primary risk, as the mechanical state of braking components, rubber bushings, and structural integrity has not been professionally verified since the last DVSA inspection. While the digital record is clean, a buyer must focus a physical inspection on common failure points for a Zafira of this era. Given the age and mileage, close attention to structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential as rust often progresses undetected. The suspension should also be checked for worn control arm bushes and leaking dampers, which frequently degrade without triggering an MOT failure. Because there is no data from after 2022, the condition of the brake discs and the depth of the tyres must be manually verified to ensure no significant deterioration has occurred during the extended period without official testing.
