2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · AE65 PNU

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 71,381 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also closed as passes with no advisories. The only anomaly sits in the 1 July 2024 entry, where the tester logged a fail and then a pass on the same day at 65,280 miles with no defects cited on either, which points to an administrative or data-recording quirk rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage tracks close to typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The odometer moved from 52,171 miles at the 16 July 2022 test to 59,172 miles by 11 July 2023, then 65,280 miles on 1 July 2024, and 71,381 miles by October 2025. That averages roughly 6,400 miles per year with no sudden jumps or long dormant gaps, so wear on drivetrain and suspension components should reflect light-to-moderate private use rather than high-load cycling. The clean advisory history gives no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions breaches across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not rule out early surface rust on a 2015 Zafira. Check brake disc thickness and tyre sidewall condition despite no tester notes, since consumable wear develops between annual tests. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, given five consecutive tests with no recorded defects and only the unexplained same-day fail-pass in 2024. The absence of recurring faults suggests no worsening mechanical trend, though the sparse commentary means a pre-purchase inspection remains the only way to confirm real-world condition beyond the DVSA data.
