2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · SB08 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2023 at 157,230 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met all legal standards at that time. While a single failure occurred in June 2022, the immediate re-test pass the following day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying minor issues rather than ignoring developing mechanical faults. The mileage pattern remains typical for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between June 2020 and 2021, and another 9,000 miles between June 2021 and 2022. This consistency suggests regular use which often prevents the long-standing periods that lead to perished seals or seized brake caliper pins. However, the last recorded MOT is now nearly three years old, meaning the vehicle is significantly overdue for its mandatory roadworthiness test. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common failure points for Zafiras of this age and mileage. Given the high mileage, check for corrosion on the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounting points. Since the record lacks recent advisory notes on consumables, the current condition of the brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes must be verified manually to ensure no significant wear has occurred since the 2023 test.
