2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · WN62 AAE

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 2026-02-23 at 129,350 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is stable, with every annual test from February 2024 through February 2026 ending in a pass and no advisories logged at any stage. The two failed entries on 2024-02-26 and 2025-02-26, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same dates, indicate administrative or pre-check rejections rather than mechanical faults, as the tester recorded no defects in either failure. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,200 miles per year against the 129,350 miles now recorded. The odometer advanced from 114,733 miles in February 2024 to 120,612 miles in February 2025, then to 129,350 miles by February 2026, a consistent ~8,700 to 9,000 miles annually with no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, listing no advisories across four years, which suggests either disciplined upkeep or tests conducted under lenient visual conditions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fourteen-year age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal creeping wear. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a known Zafira weakness and warrants close examination despite the clean MOT trail. The same-day fail-and-pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 points to clerical test issues, so verify the V5C and full service history to confirm no suppressed mechanical concerns sit behind those anomalies.
