2016 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · ST66 ABF

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean maintenance profile with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 76,997 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative care and a lack of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old vehicle. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the odometer rose from 59,218 to 76,997 miles, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year over that three year window. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden degradation of seals or battery health. The record shows a single failure on 25 September 2023 at 66,212 miles, though the vehicle passed the following day at the same mileage. The lack of recorded defects for that failure is unusual but indicates the issue was likely a minor, quickly rectified item. Because the tester has flagged no advisories for several years, there is no evidence of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related wear that MOT tests often overlook. Check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items for this engine that do not appear on MOT certificates. Examine the tyre treads and brake pad thickness to ensure they have not reached their limit since the September 2025 test. Given the lack of structural advisories, a quick check for underbody corrosion remains a prudent final step.
