2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · WN62 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted on 24 October 2024 at 97,822 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standard. This follows a pattern of reactive maintenance where previous failures were addressed immediately to secure a pass, suggesting a functional approach to maintaining road compliance in recent years. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 3,500 miles between the December 2021 test and the May 2022 test, during which the vehicle sat after an initial failure. However, the accumulation of 3,761 miles between May 2022 and October 2024 shows steady, light use. This low annual mileage generally reduces the likelihood of premature wear on rubber components and drivetrain assemblies compared to high-mileage period Zafiras. While the recent clean sheet is encouraging, the failures in December 2021 and May 2022 indicate that the vehicle has been prone to issues that require immediate attention. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and brake lines is essential, as low mileage does not prevent environmental-related structural degradation over fourteen years. The brakes should also be examined for binding calipers or excessive thinning to ensure the recent pass reflects a well-maintained system.
