2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · AE65 VJP

The 2015 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable and clean maintenance trajectory, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 120,830 miles. The vehicle passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the outcome of its 2023 test at 96,764 miles. A notable anomaly exists in the 2024 and 2025 records, where initial test attempts registered a failure despite explicitly listing no defects recorded. This pattern suggests administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical faults, as the subsequent retests on the exact same mileages passed cleanly. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues documented across the history. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2023 test at 96,764 miles and the November 2024 test at 112,143 miles, the Zafira covered 15,379 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. This dropped to 8,687 miles over the following twelve months leading to the November 2025 test at 120,830 miles. The overall average of roughly 10,985 miles per year sits squarely within normal parameters, ruling out extreme high-mileage wear or prolonged periods of inactivity that might cause deterioration from standing. With zero recorded defects across multiple tests, the MOT history offers no specific recurring faults to scrutinize. A buyer must still approach a 120,000-mile Zafira with standard pre-purchase diligence. Focus the physical inspection on structural integrity, particularly the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, which are prone to corrosion on this platform. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for wear typical of a vehicle at this mileage. Examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and verify the cooling system's operation, as heater matrix and thermostat housings are common failure points on the Zafira that might not trigger an MOT defect until they fail completely.
