2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · SW13 NOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 101,564 miles. While the current status shows no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The history reveals three failures across early 2025 and early 2026, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they triggered a failure rather than servicing the vehicle before the annual inspection. The recorded mileage of 101,564 miles over 13 years equates to an annual average of approximately 7,813 miles. This is consistent with typical low-intensity usage for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant gap in activity between February 2025 and February 2026, where the car covered only 3,656 miles in twelve months. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation in the undercarriage due to long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record shows multiple failures in short timeframes. Although the specific reasons for the failures are not detailed in this summary, the frequency of re-tests often points to worn components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust leaks. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points, as these are common failure points for Zafiras of this era that can lead to immediate failures if left untreated.
