2016 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · MW16 ACZ

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Zafira is stable and positive, evidenced by a clean pass on 5 January 2026 at 56,994 miles. The record indicates a consistent pattern of compliance, with the vehicle successfully clearing its annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories over the past three years. While the vehicle failed its initial test attempts in both 2025 and 2026, these failures appear administrative or transient in nature, as the subsequent passes occurred on the same day with no documented repairs or defects listed. The vehicle has covered 56,994 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has seen light, intermittent use rather than heavy motorway commuting. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 10,000 miles added between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by a more significant increase of over 15,000 miles leading up to the most recent test in January 2026. This recent uptick in usage indicates the vehicle is currently active and not suffering from the mechanical stagnation often associated with long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods can suffer from seized brake calipers or perished rubber bushes, even if they pass the basic MOT criteria. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension arms and coil springs show no signs of fatigue or premature wear. Given the Zafira platform, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for any hidden corrosion that might not be captured during a standard test.
