2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · FT15 DPV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 50,719 miles, confirming it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift from a long period of clean records to minor failures in the final year. Between 2018 and 2024, the car achieved six consecutive clean tests with no advisories or defects recorded. The 2025 test introduced two failures: rear brake pads worn thin on both sides and a nearside registration plate lamp fault. This suggests a sudden lapse in routine servicing rather than a chronic mechanical issue. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 4,611 miles per year over the eleven-year lifespan. There are no significant gaps or periods of rapid mileage accumulation that would indicate unrecorded use or storage. The odometer reading of 50,719 miles at the time of the last test aligns closely with the 2015 registration date, indicating the car has been in steady use without evidence of clock tampering. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the MOT record confirms both rear brake pads were worn thin at the time of testing. Inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive thickness loss, and check the caliper pistons for seizing, which often accompanies premature pad wear. The inoperative nearside plate lamp requires checking the wiring loom and bulb socket for corrosion or loose connections. Given the lack of defects for six years prior, the mechanical condition of the suspension and drivetrain likely remains sound, but verify the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs as these are standard wear items for a vehicle of this age.
