2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L Diesel · SH10 DVL

The 2025‑05‑31 MOT at 127,786 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition is roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend after the 2023 failure. The 2024 and 2023 tests also recorded passes with zero defects, confirming continuity of upkeep. Mileage has risen from 89,618 miles in May 2022 to 127,786 miles by May 2025, an average of about 7,987 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old Zafira. The jump from 107,331 miles in June 2023 to 122,362 miles in May 2024 represents an acceleration of roughly 15,000 miles in eleven months, suggesting increased driving intensity that may have accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension system closely, paying particular attention to the rear and front swivel pins, bushes and the lower suspension arm bush that were noted as excessively worn in the 2023 failure, and verify that any remedial work has been carried out. The parking brake efficiency recorded in 2023 also warrants a functional test, while the absence of recorded structural rust or exhaust defects in the recent tests does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion; a visual inspection of the chassis and underbody is advisable. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates consistent maintenance after the 2023 suspension and parking‑brake issues, but the recurring suspension wear and the mileage acceleration imply that the next owner should confirm replacement of worn bushes, check brake condition, and assess tyre tread and structural integrity before finalising the purchase.
