Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on a consi
Pay close attention to the tyres; the June 2025 MOT noted cracking and perishing on three of them, so verify if these have been replaced. Ensure the service history aligns with the mileage, particularly for the 1.4L petrol engine. You may have room to negotiate if the tyres flagged in the 2025 record are still fitted to the vehicle.
Check for a complete service record to complement the MOT data. While the MOT history is clean, it only confirms the vehicle met the minimum legal standards at the time of testing and does not provide a full picture of mechanical maintenance.
As a 1.4L petrol model, this Zafira will generally have lower tax than older diesels but higher fuel costs per mile. Insurance groups for this model are typically mid-range, reflecting its status as a family MPV.
Typical maintenance costs will involve standard consumables, though the petrol engine is often simpler to maintain than the turbocharged diesel variants. Expected annual costs will be influenced heavily by the buyer's annual mileage.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly for the cracking and perishing mentioned in the 2025 MOT and the wear noted in 2024. While this specific car has not failed for these reasons, check the shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, as these are the most common failure points across the wider Zafira population according to aggregate data.
Additionally, ensure the engine management light (MIL) is fully functional and illuminates during the ignition sequence, as inoperative MILs are a frequent MOT failure for this model. Check for any signs of suspension knocks or leaks during a test drive.
This grey 2017 Vauxhall Zafira has recorded five MOT tests since 2022, all of which resulted in passes. With 57,515 miles on the clock, it has been used less than the average Zafira of this age. The record shows a pattern of minor tyre advisories but no major mechanical failures.
The Zafira has an average MOT pass rate of 75.4%, with common issues often relating to suspension components and dashboard warning lights.
