2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.4L Petrol · KF15 LGU

The 2015 Vauxhall Zafira presents a stable and improving maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT. The August 2025 pass at 87,744 miles with zero defects is a strong result, especially after a failure just two days prior for minor lighting and wiper issues that were promptly rectified. This pattern suggests a responsible owner addressing small faults quickly rather than ignoring them. The underlying mechanical condition appears sound, with no dangerous or major structural defects recorded in the visible history. Mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. The vehicle covered roughly 14,591 miles between January 2024 at 73,153 miles and August 2025 at 87,744 miles, averaging around 8,600 miles per year over that period. This aligns with the overall lifetime average of approximately 7,977 miles per year, indicating regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or extreme annual mileage. The service record shows no alarming gaps in testing continuity, with tests conducted annually in January and then a retest cycle in August 2025. The recurring theme across multiple tests is front suspension wear. Macpherson strut pin or bush wear appeared on both sides in January 2025 and on the offside in January 2024, though never severe enough to cause excessive movement. This is a common wear item on front-wheel-drive MPVs and does not indicate neglect, but a buyer should check for knocking over bumps and uneven tyre wear as the bushes approach replacement. The January 2025 failure also flagged a coolant leak and worn rear brake pads, both of which were resolved before the pass, yet these systems warrant a cold-start inspection and a check of brake fluid levels during any test drive. Tyre condition has been a persistent advisory point, with edge wear noted on the nearside front in both January 2024 and January 2025, and outer edge wear flagged in August 2025. This suggests possible tracking or alignment issues that may have been partially addressed but not fully resolved. A buyer should inspect all four tyres closely for uneven wear patterns and have the four-wheel alignment checked. The windscreen wiper and lighting defects from August 2025 were trivial and fixed, but the overall record points to a vehicle that has been maintained reactively rather than proactively, with consumable items sometimes running close to legal limits before replacement.
