Our Verdict
This 2016 Vauxhall Zafira presents a generally clean MOT history with consecutive passes since 2022, alongside modest mileage for its age. Buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection and verify the service records to ensure a sound purchase.
When inspecting this 2016 Zafira, ask the seller for the physical service book to cross-reference with the recorded MOT milestones. Pay close attention to the 1364cc petrol engine during a cold start, listening for any unusual noises from the timing chain or turbocharger. Negotiate on price if there are any gaps in the servicing schedule or cosmetic wear to the interior trim typical of a multi-seat family vehicle.
The 1364cc petrol engine sits in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a multi-purpose vehicle of this size. Road tax falls under standard UK petrol vehicle rates, and routine maintenance is straightforward thanks to widespread parts availability. Estimated annual running costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing are expected to be around £1,400 to £1,800 depending on annual mileage and driver profile.
Inspect the braking components, suspension arms, and tyre tread depths carefully, particularly given the vehicle's role as a people carrier. Check the May 2022 MOT failure record (which listed no specific defects text) alongside the subsequent clean passes in July 2022, July 2023, July 2024, and July 2025. Verify that all seat mechanisms, seatbelts in the rear rows, and electronic cabin features operate correctly during your viewing.
First registered in June 2016, this blue Vauxhall Zafira with a 1364cc petrol engine has covered 59,666 miles as of its July 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT history shows four consecutive clean passes from 2022 through 2025, following a single failure in May 2022. The recorded mileage sits at a sensible level for a 2016-registered family car.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Vauxhall Zafira model variant, making individual vehicle inspection essential.
