2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · SP60 MVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on August 24, 2023 at 75,901 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. While the history shows a pattern of initial failures, the subsequent trend toward clean certificates suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,744 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 67,107 miles and August 2023 at 75,901 miles, the car covered only 8,794 miles over two years. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. One should monitor for signs of perished rubber bushes, seized brake calipers, or surface corrosion on brake discs due to the lack of regular use. A buyer should focus inspection on the specific causes of the failures in 2021 and 2022, although the exact defect descriptions were not provided in the summary. Given the age of the Zafira, a check for structural integrity is essential, particularly around the sills and rear suspension mounting where corrosion often congregates regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension system for play and check the tyres for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from tyre rot before the tread depth is exhausted.
