2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Petrol · VX13 NEY

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 149,824 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections following initial failures on the same days. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded advisories on the passes indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately rather than allowing minor issues to escalate into mechanical failures. At 149,824 miles, this 13-year-old Zafira averages approximately 11,525 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a family MPV. The data shows consistent use, with 8,472 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,702 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and fluidrelated issues. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to this mileage and age. Despite the clean MOT passes, the buyer must specifically scrutinize the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these are frequently the culprits in MOT failures. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential, as the MOT record does not detail the depth of surface rust before it reaches a failure point. Checking for any oil leaks around the engine is also advisable to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in significant drivetrain wear.
