Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clean MOT record following previous mechanical failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 8 May 2024 at 105,332 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all legal standards at that time. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing any mechanical faults identified by the tester. At 105,332 miles, this 16-year-old Zafira averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent movement, with a 6,700-mile interval between February 2022 and February 2023, and another 5,000 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. This regular usage is generally positive for mechanical components, as it suggests seals and gaskets have been subjected to regular operating cycles rather than long periods of stationary-related corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the recorded failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate these areas are prone to attention. Given the age of the vehicle, a close check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential, as these models often develop rust. Since the last MOT was performed over two years ago, the buyer must also verify the current condition of tyre treads and the depth of brake pads to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated significantly since the May 2024 test.
