Our Verdict
This is a solid option for those seeking a practical family MPV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle's recent history suggests it has been kept roadworthy without any recorded failures in the last five years.
When viewing this Zafira, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only tests specific safety and environmental items. Given the 1.6L petrol engine, check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, a 20-year-old car will naturally have wear on suspension components and rubber seals. Ensure you check the service intervals have been met to maintain the mechanical integrity that the MOT records cannot confirm.
The 1598cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it relatively affordable for family drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Zafira is typically average for a compact MPV, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style.
Maintenance costs for Vauxhall models are generally predictable due to the wide availability of parts. Expect annual running costs to include standard servicing, tires, and occasional repairs to wear-and-tear items like brakes or wipers.
Since the recent MOT history from 2021 to 2025 shows no recorded defects, your inspection should focus on items the MOT might not catch in detail, such as the condition of the clutch and gearbox. Check the interior upholstery and the functionality of the seating configurations, which are key features of this model.
Pay close attention to the underside for any signs of corrosion, even though no structural failures have been noted in the recent records. Additionally, test all electrical components, including window regulators and climate control, as these are common areas of wear in older Vauxhall vehicles.
This 2006 silver Vauxhall Zafira has covered 125,535 miles since its first registration in September 2006. The MOT history shows a pattern of five consecutive passes from 2021 to 2025, notably with no defects or failures recorded during this period. While the mileage is consistent with its age, the lack of recorded MOT failures provides a clean recent history for this 1.6L petrol model.
Aggregate reliability data is not available for this specific model to provide a statistical comparison.
