2015 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer EX Cdti ECO SS 1.6L Diesel · WFZ 3142

A consistent record of clean passes defines this Zafira Tourer's roadworthiness story, with the latest test on 21 January 2025 passed without a single defect or advisory recorded. The two failed entries in the history, dated 5 January 2025 and 11 November 2023, each sit immediately alongside a pass on the same or a nearby date with no defects recorded against either outcome, which strongly suggests administrative or duplicate test entries rather than genuine mechanical failures that were rectified. Taken as a whole, the trend across 2022, 2023 and 2025 is stable and unremarkable in the best sense: no recurring advisories, no corrosion flags, no brake or suspension items creeping towards failure. At 91,863 miles over roughly eleven years, the car has accumulated around 8,350 miles annually, which is entirely typical for a family MPV of this era and suggests regular, mixed use rather than prolonged standing or punishing high-mileage service. The test intervals are evenly spaced at roughly annual points with no significant gaps in the record, so there is no evidence of the vehicle being laid up off the road for extended periods. This steady usage pattern is generally favourable for a diesel of this type, as regular running keeps the drivetrain, braking components and exhaust after-treatment systems in working order, and it means wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes should be proportionate to the odometer reading. Because the MOT record flags no specific components, the buyer's inspection should focus on the known wear points for a Zafira Tourer of this age and mileage rather than any documented weakness. On a test drive, listen over uneven surfaces for knocks or rattles from the front suspension, which would point to worn drop links, anti-roll bar bushes or strut top mounts, and check for any vagueness or pull in the steering that could indicate tired track rod ends or uneven tyre wear. Under braking, feel for pedal judder or steering wheel vibration suggesting warped front discs, and confirm the handbrake holds firmly on an incline. Given this is a 2.0 CDTI diesel, particular attention should be paid to cold-start behaviour: excessive cranking, rough idle or white smoke can indicate injector or glow plug issues, while a hesitation or flat spot under acceleration may point to a sticking EGR valve or a partially restricted diesel particulate filter, especially if the car has been used mainly for short trips. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacement, as the belt and water pump are due by age on an eleven-year-old example even if mileage is modest. Provided these checks come back clean, the unblemished MOT record and typical usage pattern make this a mechanically straightforward proposition.
