Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a pr
When inspecting this specific 1.8L petrol Zafira, prioritise checking the condition of the rear braking system. The MOT history shows recurring issues with pitted or scored rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2024. Ensure that these components have been replaced or refurbished since the last test in late 2025.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the exhaust system, as a minor leak was noted in the 2022 MOT. Additionally, verify that all tyres are in good condition, given that cracking or perishing tyres were flagged as an advisory in 2022 and 2023. A full service history should be requested to complement the MOT records.
The 1796cc petrol engine typically places this vehicle in a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for family use. Fuel economy will depend on load and driving style, but as a petrol MPV, expect average consumption figures.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve suspension components, as shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are common failure points across the wider Zafira fleet. You should budget for regular consumable replacements like brakes and tyres, which have appeared in this vehicle's recent history.

Finally, check the exhaust system for any signs of leaks or corrosion, referencing the minor flexi-leak noted in the 2022 record.
