2009 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · OY59 FVU

The 2009 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-04-09 at 141,635 miles passing with no recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity through the current testing cycle. However, the maintenance history suggests a potential trend of worsening reliability if the owner fails to address known issues, as the vehicle has failed two consecutive MOTs in the past. The mileage accumulation from 2020 to 2023 shows a rapid increase of 31,000 miles over two years, which is significantly higher than the 17-year age of the car. This rapid mileage gain suggests that the owner may have been driving the vehicle with less attention to maintenance, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The absence of defects in the most recent test confirms that the engine and gearbox are functioning correctly, but the high mileage rate indicates that the car may require more frequent servicing than typical for an 17-year-old vehicle. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension bushings and coil springs for corrosion and binding calipers for binding conditions during a physical inspection. Given the history of two failed MOTs, the primary risk is potential suspension failure or brake issues, which could lead to a total loss of the vehicle's safety. While the engine and drivetrain appear sound, the lack of a recent MOT and the high mileage rate imply that the car may need professional servicing if it is to be driven regularly.
