2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · ML66 PHN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of its most recent inspections. The test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 74,674 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emission standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 41,999 miles and August 2025 at 74,674 miles, the car covered 32,675 miles, showing a steady usage rate rather than long periods of inactivity. The failure recorded on 30 June 2023 at 51,712 miles followed immediately by a pass on the same day indicates either a minor issue that was rectified promptly rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure or a trend of neglect. An in-person inspection should focus on common wear points for the Zafira at this age and mileage bracket. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or cracking, as these often bypass MOT testing until they become critical. Given the relatively low mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for corrosion or pitting is wise, as low-use vehicles can suffer from surface rust or seized calipers. A check of the underside for structural corrosion will also ensure the chassis integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
