2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · ST60 KVC

The 2010 Vauxhall Zafira has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT, passed on 2025-04-14 at 153,637 miles with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-04-08 at 153,588 miles—just six days earlier—suggests potential unresolved issues or procedural errors, as no defects were noted in either test. The vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT history since 2023, with passes in 2023-04-18 (134,923 miles) and 2024-04-17 (144,256 miles), all without recorded defects. This pattern indicates no significant mechanical degradation over the past three years, though the repeated failures without recorded faults raise questions about the consistency of testing outcomes. The vehicle’s mileage of 153,637 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,602 miles, typical for its 16-year age. The 2023-04-11 failure at 134,776 miles and subsequent pass in 2023-04-18 at 134,923 miles suggest minimal mileage progression between tests, possibly indicating short-term use or intermittent operation. The 2024-04-17 pass at 144,256 miles marks a 9,333-mile increase from the 2023-04-18 test, reflecting normal usage. No gaps or anomalies in mileage accumulation are evident, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into mechanical wear. A buyer should verify the resolution of the 2025-04-08 failure, as its absence of recorded defects may mask underlying issues. While the MOT records do not flag suspension, brake, or structural concerns, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc corrosion. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be assessed, as these components are critical for long-term reliability. The absence of recurring defects in passes suggests diligent maintenance, but the failed tests without explanations necessitate further scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history.
