2001 Vauxhall Zafira mileage and trip counter not lighting up

Could just be bulb ? Years since I was an MOT tester and regulations have changed , but are you sure this is a failable item ? Might be just an advisory . Worth a phone call to any MOT test station , could save you some hassle . The MOT manuals are ou of date now , but this is from a MOT advisory website .

• Operation.
• Condition.
• Security.

Side lights and headlamps:
• Acceptable make/model.
• Dip and aim must be within specified perameters Stop lights, indicators and hazard lights*
• Acceptable make/model
• Lights,indicators and hazard lights must not interfere with each other whilst in operation.

• Must be fitted to the centre or offside of the vehicle.
• Tell-tale must work.
• Must not be affected by other lamps and not be obscured.
• Must be red.

Does not mention speedo / panel
lights .

because the readout is digital i cant view the current mileage so i think that would then become a problem as to what the true mileage would be

Check fuses .

If you haven't got handbook to find location of fuse boxes and relevant fuses for instruments , go to here and download manual which shows you .
