2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Diesel · FL65 JWD

The Vauxhall Zafira presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test cycle. The most recent examination on 19 March 2026 at 84,773 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failed attempt with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is stable, with five consecutive annual tests from March 2023 to March 2026 showing passes and zero advisories or recorded defects. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 63,048 miles at the March 2023 test to 71,744 by March 2024, then 77,939 by March 2025, reaching 84,773 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year, matching the expected average and indicating no prolonged standing or aggressive accumulation that would accelerate wear on suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, or brake discs. The absence of any flagged items across the record denies us specific component concerns to pursue. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as Zafira chassis corrosion can develop between tests without triggering advisories. Examine coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding given the clean history offers no early warning of such faults. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied annual testing without deferred consumables reaching failure. The duplicated 19 March 2026 entry with a fail and no defects warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm the pass is the live result accepted for road use.
