2015 Vauxhall Zafira 2.0L Diesel · L25 MBY

The latest MOT on 6 October 2025 recorded a failure, breaking a four‑year streak of passes and signalling a shift toward a less stable maintenance pattern. Earlier tests in October 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 all passed without recorded defects, so the recent fail suggests a new issue or an administrative lapse that now requires attention before the vehicle can be deemed roadworthy. The odometer shows 107,002 mi in October 2025, having risen from 68,803 mi in October 2022. That equates to roughly 12‑13 k mi per year, aligning with the average for a 2014 model of its class. No abrupt spikes or long idle periods appear in the record; mileage increments are consistent across each annual test, indicating regular, moderate use rather than periods of neglect or heavy loading. Given the absence of specific fault listings, a prospective buyer should focus the in‑person inspection on components most prone to wear in a vehicle with this mileage. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake disc and pad wear, and feel for any play in the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs. A visual check for surface rust on structural panels and under‑carriage is prudent, as well as confirming that all lights, exhaust emissions and emissions control systems function correctly. Ensuring the cause of the October 2025 failure is identified and rectified will be essential before confirming the car’s suitability for purchase.
