2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · SB06 AEG

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available records, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent pass occurred on 15 September 2022 at 150,432 miles, leaving a gap of nearly four years since the last official inspection. While the record shows a clean bill of health at that time, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified without a fresh test. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 9,984 miles between September 2020 and September 2021, followed by a lower increase of 7,716 miles by September 2022. This average of roughly 7,500 miles per year suggests steady use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT history is unusually sparse, showing no recorded defects or advisories across three passing tests. While a clean record is positive, it is rare for a twenty year old Zafira to show zero wear on consumables or suspension components. The absence of any flagged issues with corrosion or brake wear suggests either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a lack of detailed reporting by the testers. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Given the age and the lack of recorded advisories, you should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and subframes. Inspect the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes, as these are common failure points for this model that the records fail to highlight. Verify the current state of the brake discs and tyres, as these will have aged significantly since the 2022 test.
