2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · NG08 KVL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT test on 19 July 2024 at 157,954 miles with no recorded defects. This followed a curious failure just eight days prior on 11 July 2024 at 157,899 miles which also listed no defects, suggesting an administrative error or a technical glitch during the testing process rather than a mechanical fault. Since the 2020 test, the car has maintained a consistent record of passes without any recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,775 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in recorded mileage between December 2020 and March 2022, where only 1,303 miles were covered. However, the usage increased significantly thereafter, with 21,050 miles logged between the March 2022 and July 2024 tests. This suggests the vehicle transitioned from a period of low use to a more active role in recent years, which typically accelerates the wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. Because the MOT history shows no advisories or recurring faults over the last four years, a physical inspection should focus on preventative maintenance of an aging Zafira. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the rear sills and subframe mounts, as these are common structural failure points for this model. Given the high mileage, the condition of the shock absorbers and the integrity of the brake lines require close scrutiny to ensure no components are nearing the end of their functional life despite the clean digital record.
