2014 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · ST64 CZH

The 2014 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 79,831 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle is in good mechanical order right now. The maintenance trend over the past two years is clearly improving. A fractured nearside rear coil spring and a corroded offside rear spring were both rectified following an MOT failure on 1 April 2025, and the subsequent retest on the same day confirmed the repairs were successful. No suspension or structural defects have reappeared since. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a twelve-year-old family MPV. The recorded intervals show 3,656 miles covered between the April 2025 and March 2026 tests, and 3,231 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This aligns with the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 6,653 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings that would suggest the car has been sitting unused or tampered with. The annual test dates have also been kept reasonably regular, with only a minor gap between March 2024 and April 2025. Despite the clean recent result, the history flags two areas a buyer should inspect in person. The recurring tyre wear advisories, noted on the nearside front in 2025 and the offside front in 2024, suggest possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that may return. The offside rear tyre also showed cracking in 2023, which points to age-related rubber degradation. A thorough check of all four tyres for uneven tread wear and sidewall condition is advisable. The fractured coil spring in 2025 is the most significant defect on record. While repaired, it raises the question of whether the remaining springs are original and equally prone to corrosion. A close visual inspection of all coil springs for surface rust, pitting, or hairline fractures is essential, particularly on the offside rear, which was already flagged as corroded before the failure occurred.
