2018 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Diesel · VU18 AEE

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 86,722 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 6,941 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by a slight increase to 5,508 miles by October 2025. The jump from 65,986 miles in January 2023 to 72,873 miles in January 2024 shows a steady usage pattern of roughly 10,800 miles per year. There are no erratic mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate periods of neglect or excessive commercial use. The record shows a single failure on 5 January 2023 at 65,972 miles, which was resolved on the same day. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for this failure or any subsequent advisories, the issue was likely a minor consumable item. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test often overlooks or flags only when critical. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the October 2025 test. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on the chassis and check the service history for evidence of oil changes and timing belt replacement, as these essential maintenance tasks are not captured in the MOT history.
