2014 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · SA64 MCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension components. While it passed the most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 90,111 miles, this followed a failure just nine days prior. The tester noted that the fractured offside rear coil spring was replaced, yet the nearside front lower suspension arm bush remains worn, despite being flagged in multiple consecutive tests. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they result in an immediate MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 90,111 miles, the 12-year-old Zafira reflects an average of approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, with 6,222 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 6,220 miles recorded between January 2025 and February 2026. This steady mileage is typical for a family vehicle, but the recurring issues with rubber bushes and springs indicate the vehicle is experiencing standard age-related wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front lower arm bush has been noted as worn since at least 2024. The 2026 test also identified the rear brake discs as worn, which indicates they are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require replacement. Furthermore, the frayed seat belt webbing in both the second and third rows remains a persistent safety concern that has gone unaddressed through multiple advisories. The buyer should also check for further corrosion on the remaining coil springs, as rust has been a documented issue since early 2025.
