2008 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · SO08 VEM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The last test conducted on 11 April 2023 at 123,036 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just three weeks prior at nearly identical mileage. This suggests that the previous owner addressed specific issues immediately to achieve compliance. However, the vehicle has not undergone a test in over three years, meaning the current mechanical condition is undocumented and uncertain. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between March 2021 and March 2022, the car covered 2,502 miles, indicating a period of low usage. The mileage then increased by 2,765 miles between March 2022 and April 2023. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, the age of the vehicle means that components such as rubber suspension bushes, hoses, and brake lines are points of concern due to degradation regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floorpan as older Zafiras are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Because the record ends in 2023, a thorough check of the brake fluid condition, exhaust leaks, and perished tyres is essential. Inspect the front end for play in the wish arms and ball joints, as the recurring failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate the suspension may require active attention to maintain safety standards.
