2010 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · WN60 WSZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on September 11, 2024 at 121,138 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of instability followed by a resolution. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of multiple failures in 2023 and early 2024 suggests that the vehicle previously struggled with meeting compliance standards. The transition from consecutive failures to a clean pass indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 10,579 miles, representing a slightly higher rate of use than the historical average. The clusters of failures in August and September 2023 occurred within a very narrow window of just 18 miles at 110,533 miles, indicating that specific mechanical or emissions issues were identified and addressed in a single period rather than being a gradual wear process. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that likely triggered the previous failures, as the digital record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the age and mileage of this Zafira, focus on structural corrosion around the rear sills and the subframe, which are common failure points for this model. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear. Because the vehicle failed three times in short succession before passing, verifying the exhaust system integrity and ensuring all mounts are secure is to confirm the previous issues were not merely patched.
