2002 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8L Petrol · SW02 AHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data available. The last MOT test conducted on 31 December 2021 at 132,675 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety and emissions standards at that time. While the history shows failures in late 2020 and 2021, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the owner was proactive in rectifying any faults identified by the testing centre. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between December 2019 and December 2021, the car covered only 7,947 miles, moving from 124,728 to 132,675 miles. This low annual usage often reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits for extended periods. There is a significant gap in the record, as the last test was performed four and a half years ago, meaning the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and likely expired. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, given the age of the Zafira and the lapse in testing. Low mileage does not prevent corrosion on the sills, wing arches, or brake lines, which are common failure points on this model. The inspector should also check for seized calipers or perished hoses, as infrequent use can cause these components to fail. Since the record ends several years ago, a thorough check of the fluid leaks and suspension bushings is essential to ensure no significant mechanical issues have developed since the 2021 pass.
