2012 Vauxhall Zafira 1.7L Diesel · WN62 AEJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 June 2025 at 115,855 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day at 115,852 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 11,789 miles between the July 2022 test at 104,066 miles and the June 2025 test at 115,855 miles. This averages to roughly 3,900 miles per year over the last three years, which is lower than the overall lifetime average of 8,275 miles per year. Such a decline in annual usage can sometimes lead to issues with battery health or perished rubber components due to inactivity. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 14 year old Zafira, showing no advisories or failures across four years of testing. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has seen very light duty. However, the absence of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, pads, or suspension bushes over 11,000 miles is atypical for this model. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not been neglected despite the clean test sheets. Given the age and the drop in annual mileage, a check for oil leaks and the condition of the coolant hoses is recommended to confirm the vehicle has been stored and maintained correctly.
