In the general formula for per unit impedance

Zp.u(old) = (Powerbase(new)/Powerbase(old)) x (Zp.u(old)) x ([V(old) / V(new)]^2)

if I use the MVA(scc) of utility as powerbase

For Zp.u.(utility)= Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old)
where in :
voltage is said constant, why ?
there is no Zp.u(old), why?

For Zp.u.(transformer)= Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old) x Zp.u(old)
where in :
voltage is said constant, why ?

its Zp.u(new) = (Powerbase(new)/Powerbase(old)) x (Zp.u(old)) x ([V(old) / V(new)]^2) (1)

For Zp.u.(utility)= Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old)
where in :
voltage is said constant, why ?
there is no Zp.u(old), why?

V(utility) usually is equal to V(base) so if you say:

Zp.u(old)=Powerbase(old)/V(base)^2 and
Zp.u(utility/new)=Powerbase(new)/V(utility)^2

since V(base)=V(utility) then,
Zp.u(utility)=Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old)

For Zp.u.(transformer)= Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old) x Zp.u(old)
where in :
voltage is said constant, why ?

same as before usually V(transformer)=V(base) in both sides. If it is not, say you move one tap in the transformer in the secundary side, then you have to use the equation (1) of above

can't get it yet

can't get it yet

thanks for correcting Zpu(old) to Zpu(new)

Using the Utility's MVAscc as the commonbase you are right
V(utility) = V(base)

But if the transformer is connected in that Utility using the same
common base (Utility MVAscc) why the voltage of transformer
not been considered ?
Zp.u.new(transformer)= Power Base(new)/ Power Base (old) x Zp.u(old)

thank you !

If I understand your question, Mayimbe has answered that already:
...
since V(base)=V(utility) then,
...
same as before usually V(transformer)=V(base)
In other words:
V(base)=V(utility)=V(transformer)
