2014 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · X6 JSP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 117,790 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to a reactive repair pattern as the mileage increased. While the latest test suggests the vehicle was attended, the entries from 2024 and 2025 indicate a period where wear and tear items were only addressed once they reached advisory or failure thresholds rather than through preventative maintenance. At 12 years old, the Vauxhall Zafira has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a family vehicle of this age. There is a notable increase in usage starting between January 2023 and January 2025, where the car covered over 25,000 miles in two years. This surge in mileage likely correlates with the appearance of mechanical advisories, specifically the degradation of brake components and suspension parts, which were absent during the earlier, lower-mileage years. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The 2025 test flagged a severely deteriorated suspension arm ball joint dust cover and pitted rear brake discs on the offside, while the 2024 test noted pitting on both rear discs. The recurring issue of inner-edge tyre wear on the front side in 2024 also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that require checking. The buyer must also verify the structural integrity of the rear seat belt buckle, as this remained a noted defect across both the 2024 and 2025 tests.
