2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · SM67 KOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in maintenance consistency. In the September 11 2025 test at 40,186 miles, the car failed initially due to a non-functional offside rear stop lamp and an oil leak. While the lamp was rectified to secure a pass result, the presence of an oil leak suggests a developing engine or gasket seal issue that was not present in previous clean records. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,465 miles per annum. However, there is a discrepancy in the recorded data between the October 2022 test at 23,276 miles and the October 2023 test at 47,855 miles. This interval shows over 24,000 miles driven in one year, which contradicts the overall low-usage trend seen in the subsequent 2024 test at 35,756 miles. This inconsistency suggests either a period of very heavy use or a clerical error in mileage recording that requires physical verification. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection focusing on the oil leak identified in the 2025 test to determine the source, whether it is a way cover gasket or a rear seal. Given the low mileage but high age, it is also vital to inspect rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyres, which can dry out and perish from age irrespective of distance driven. The lack of structural advisories across the history suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but the oil leak is the primary mechanical concern for a prospective owner.
