Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence as this Zafira shows exceptionally low mileage for its age and a flawless recent MOT record. It represents a well-used example of a practical family MPV.
When viewing this vehicle, the primary focus should be verifying the mileage history to ensure the figures remain consistent with the MOT records. Given the low mileage, check that rubber-based components that age rather than wear out, such as belts, hoses, and tires, show signs of cracking. Ask for the full service history to confirm that the 1.6L engine has been serviced according to intervals, as regular oil changes are vital for these units.
Since there are no MOT failures to point to, use the test drive to check for common Vauxhall-specific Zafira issues such as clutch slip or suspension clunk. Ensure the electric mechanism for the rear seats and the sliding side doors operate smoothly, as these are frequent points of failure in MPVs of this era.
The 1.6cc petrol engine typically sits in a relatively low insurance group and tax band compared to larger MPV alternatives. You can expect modest fuel economy, around 35-40 mpg depending on driving style and load, though city driving will impact figures.
Mtenance for this Vauxhall is generally affordable, with parts being widely available and easy for any independent garage to service. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, are estimated to fall between £900 and £1,200.
The MOT record is remarkably clean, with no defects noted between 2022 and 2025. However, you should still inspect the underbody for any signs of surface rust that may not have reached a failure threshold yet. Pay close attention to the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from corrosion.
Inspect the engine bay for any oil leaks, particularly around the head gasket, which is a known area for older Vauxhall engines. Additionally, check the tires for their date codes; low-mileage cars often sit on old rubber despite having sufficient tread depth.
This 2007 Vauxhall Zafira features a 1.6L petrol engine and has covered just 78,178 miles, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows four consecutive annual passes with zero recorded defects or advisories. This suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to mechanical neglect or poor maintenance standards in the last four years.
While aggregate data is unavailable for this specific year, the 1.6L petrol Vauxhall engines are generally considered robust if well-maintained.
