2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · RV62 EOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 August 2025 at 61,585 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This return to a clean sheet following the 2024 failure suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current owner, ensuring the vehicle meets current safety and emission standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2012 Vauxhall, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and August 2025, the car covered 12,085 miles, moving from 49,500 to 61,585 miles. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent annual usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres, which may dry rot or crack if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system, as a flexi-pipe leak was noted during the August 2024 test at 59,125 miles. Although the 2025 test passed without defects, a physical check should confirm the repair was permanent and no new signs of corrosion are present. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at structural integrity around the sills and rear suspension mounting points is essential, as these are common failure areas for this Zafira generation regardless of the low mileage driven.
