2015 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6L Diesel · MX65 AHU

The vehicle shows a declining maintenance trend regarding consumable components. While the most recent MOT passed on 4 May 2022 at 81,926 miles, the tester flagged both nearside rear tyre wear and offside rear brake disc pitting or scoring. This follows a pattern of recurring issues with tyres and braking components seen in previous years. The lack of any MOT data after May 2022 suggests the vehicle has not been tested for over four years, which is a significant concern for current roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,448 miles per year, moving from 42,075 miles in January 2019 to 81,926 miles by May 2022. The recorded intervals between tests show steady progression rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy mileage spikes. However, the absence of recent mileage data since the 2022 test makes it impossible to verify if the vehicle has been driven recently or has been sitting idle. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history shows repeated issues with tyres, including cracking, perishing, and cuts reaching the cords, as well as wear on the edges. The 2022 advisory regarding pitted or scored brake discs, combined with the 2021 advisory for thin rear brake pads, indicates the braking system requires close scrutiny. Check for uneven tyre wear which could point to underlying suspension or alignment issues. The mechanical history also highlights a tendency for minor consumable failures, such as the windscreen wiper fault in December 2019. While no major structural or emissions failures appear in the record, the recurring tyre and brake advisories suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. Ensure the current brake pads, discs, and all four tyres meet legal standards and check for any signs of perishing on the rubber due to the likely period of inactivity.
