Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mechanical inspection. While the most recent MOT was a pass, the lack of recorded defect details on the 2022 failure makes it difficult to assess the vehicle's maintenance patterns.
When viewing this Zafira, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, as the MOT records alone do not confirm if regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance have occurred. Since the 2022 MOT failure did not specify the exact defect, ask the seller directly what required repair to pass that test.
Check the timing belt (cambelt) status immediately; for a 1.6L petrol engine of this age, this is a critical maintenance item. Additionally, inspect the suspension components and braking system, as these are common areas for wear on high-mileage MPVs like this one.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy for this era of Zafira typically averages around 30-35 mpg depending on load and driving style.
Insurance groups for 2007 Zafiras vary but are generally affordable for family drivers. Tax bands will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this engine. Expect maintenance costs to increase slightly as the vehicle exceeds 125,000 miles, particularly regarding consumables like tyres, brakes, and exhaust components.
Because the 2022 MOT failure lacks specific defect descriptions, a physical inspection of the underside is essential. Look for signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, which are common in older Vauxhall models.
Pay close attention to the suspension, specifically the shock absorbers and bushings, and check the brake pads and discs for uneven wear. Given the 126,237 recorded mileage, also listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations that could indicate wear in the drivetrain or timing components.
This 2007 Vauxhall Zafira, finished in blue with a 1.6L petrol engine, has covered 126,237 miles as of its last recorded MOT in June 2022. The MOT history shows a single failure in 2022 followed by an immediate pass, though specific defect data for that failure is not provided in the records. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, buyers should prepare for potential age-related maintenance requirements.
