2014 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · NK64 SSZ

The 2026-01-15 MOT at 150,824 miles confirms the Vauxhall Zafira remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has persisted since the 2023 test. The mileage trajectory shows a marked increase relative to the vehicle's 12‑year age, rising from 112,579 miles in January 2023 to 150,824 miles by January 2026, an average of roughly 12,569 miles per year. The jump from 112,579 to 126,633 miles between January 2023 and January 2024 represents a 14,054‑mile annual gain, while the subsequent rise to 139,674 miles by January 2025 and to 139,818 miles by February 2025 reflects a slower but still substantial accumulation. The brief interval between the January 2025 failure and the February 2025 pass suggests a corrective repair was carried out before the retest. A buyer should therefore focus on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear at high mileage, and verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers, especially given the repeated high‑speed operation implied by the mileage. Structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and underbody should be inspected, as should the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, since these areas commonly deteriorate on vehicles with sustained high annual mileage. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the high mileage per year indicates accelerated consumable wear, so a thorough in‑person examination of tyre tread depth, suspension geometry, brake performance and any signs of structural fatigue is essential before purchase.
