Buying Tips for the 2011–2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer

  • On 1.4 Turbo cars, check for coolant loss and make sure the engine pulls cleanly without turbo whistle or hesitation.
  • If it has a 6-speed manual, treat any upper-gear whine as an M32 warning until proven otherwise.
  • IntelliLink and climate-control faults are common ownership irritations, so test the screen, heater and fan operation fully.
