One month old is OK. You need to do thorough PDI using our PDI list. All the best to you and do keep posting your ownership experience.

For that you need complete 19 characters VIN which is stamped under drivers seat. There is "*" and alphabet apart from above given VIN. That alphabet will tell you month of manufacture.

First of all Congratulations for your Zest !!
From the 10th character of VIN i can say that its manufactured in 2015. The 12th character appears to be "c" which means it is from March month. TAIgers and Zest owners, please clarify more on this !
