2017 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · YR17 KMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern of repair where the owner addresses specific failures only after a failed test. While the latest result is clean, the previous failure in the same month highlighted mechanical issues including a leaking shock absorber, high emissions, and a faulty washer. The immediate subsequent pass suggests the owner is willing to fund necessary repairs to meet legal standards, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 106,497 miles, the Zafira has averaged approximately 11,833 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a nine-year-old vehicle. The mileage shows consistent growth, with roughly 18,000 miles covered between the October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,200 miles in the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which can often degrade rubber components and fuel systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the October 2025 failure flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber. The 2024 failure regarding rear brake pads being below the 1.5mm legal limit indicates that braking components have been run to the point of failure before attention is paid. Verify the remaining life on all pads and check for thinning of the discs. Given the high carbon monoxide reading recorded in late 2025, a close check of engine performance and exhaust health is advisable to ensure the combustion system remains stable at this mileage.
