2008 Vauxhall Zafira Design Cdti 150 1.9L Diesel · VEZ 9808

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 148,681 miles resulted in no defects recorded. This follows a three-year trend of clean passes from 2023, 2024, and 2025. While a failure occurred in April 2024 at 139,395 miles, the immediate re-test success a month later indicates that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying any identified mechanical faults. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,260 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the vehicle covered 14,876 miles, showing a steady and predictable accumulation rate rather than periods of neglect or sudden heavy strain. The gap of 5,061 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the car is driven regularly, which helps prevent internal components like brake seals and fuel lines from seizing due to long periods of standing. Despite the clean recent history, a buyer must inspect specific high-wear areas common to the Zafira at this mileage. At 148,000 miles, close attention should be paid to the integrity of the rear subframe and suspension bushes, which often suffer significant degradation on this platform. The physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel mounting points, as the MOT only identifies rust that has reached a structural threshold and may miss deep-seated decay in components until they reach a point of failure. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the turbocharger and checking for oil leaks is also essential to ensure the mechanical health continues beyond the documented test history.
