AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Zafira passed its most recent MOT on 11 May 2022 at 119,915 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it four years lapsed from today's date of 17 July 2026. The maintenance trend shown across the supplied records is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The two failure entries from 11 May 2022 and 8 April 2021 both show zero recorded defects, indicating administrative or documentation issues rather than roadworthiness concerns at the point of testing. Recorded mileage rose from 103,277 on 8 April 2021 to 103,502 on 10 May 2021, then jumped to 119,915 by 11 May 2022, an accumulation of roughly 16,400 miles over thirteen months. Against an eighteen-year life and an average of about 6,662 miles per year, the final year before the last test ran at nearly double the long-term rate. The history is sparse and clean, with no entries between May 2021 and May 2022 and nothing logged after the 2022 pass, so the vehicle has covered an unknown distance since. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, given the four-year test gap and absent maintenance data. Particular attention should go to suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural corrosion, as these Zafira-era Vauxhalls commonly degrade with age and standing. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition also warrant checking, since consumable wear cannot be inferred from a defect-free 2022 record. The absence of advisories in 2021 and 2022 suggests the previous owner presented the car in acceptable condition at those tests, but the unexplained failure entries and the long lapsed period mean current roadworthiness is unverified. Treat the 119,915-mile figure as the last confirmed reading rather than the true odometer state.
