2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · WD61 GXJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT test conducted on 16 December 2023 at 125,193 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows failures in 2021 and 2022, the subsequent clean passes suggest that identified faults were addressed and rectified promptly. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered 2,358 miles, which represents a lower rate of use compared to the previous interval of 2,480 miles between late 2021 and late 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is now over eighteen months overdue, necessitating an immediate technical inspection to verify the current state of the aging mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that typically fail on Zafiras of this age, as the record does not specify the exact nature of the previous failures. Prioritize a check of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, which are common failure points for this model. Because the vehicle has surpassed 125,000 miles, examine the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake system for signs of binding calipers or thin discs that may have developed during the recent period of lower usage.
