2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · SH62 AED

The 2012 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all MOT tests from 2020 to 2024 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2024-08-17 at 96,320 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within standard parameters. The absence of advisories or critical failures across five consecutive tests implies the owner prioritized regular servicing to sustain mechanical integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,320 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 6,880 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOTs were conducted at roughly annual intervals, with the exception of a nine-month gap between the 2020-11-13 test (78,922 miles) and 2021-08-20 (82,155 miles). This minor irregularity does not indicate neglect, as subsequent tests remained uneventful. The clean record suggests no significant wear on critical systems, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor consumables or non-MOT-relevant components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers may show uneven wear, particularly if the vehicle has been driven in stop-start conditions. Corrosion in the underbody, especially around the chassis and exhaust system, warrants scrutiny, as it can develop in older vehicles with prolonged exposure to moisture. While the MOT history reflects no immediate risks, these areas require physical examination to confirm long-term reliability.
