2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · OV59 AXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025 with 117,287 miles. This successful result followed an unexplained failure just two weeks prior on 2 September 2025 at 117,088 miles, though the record indicates no recorded defects for that failure, suggesting a potential administrative error or a non-presentation issue that was immediately rectified. Since September 2022, the car has maintained a clean testing record without any recorded failures or advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 14,972 miles, showing a steady progression of roughly 5,000 miles annually. This low accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals and seized brake calipers, yet it has seen enough road miles to justify the standard incremental wear on drivetrain and suspension components. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on common age-related vulnerabilities for this model. Particular attention should be paid to corrosion on the rear sills, subframe, and fuel lines, where structural rust often develops before it triggers an MOT failure. The buyer should also inspect the rubber suspension bushes for signs of cracking and check the brake discs for excessive wear, as the MOT does not assess the remaining life of these components until they reach a legal safety threshold.
