Our Verdict
This 2007 Vauxhall Zafira has a mixed MOT history with two failures in 2024-2025, though no defects were recorded. While the latest MOT passed, the frequent failures suggest potential underlying issues that require careful inspection before purchase.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection to identify any unresolved issues behind the MOT failures. Check service records for regular maintenance, particularly for the 1.9L diesel engine, which may require attention to fuel system components. Negotiate the price to account for the high mileage and potential repair costs. Be cautious of electrical system faults common in older Zafiras.
Diesel fuel economy for a 2007 Zafira is average, with typical urban consumption around 35-40 mpg. Road tax for 2026 would be £140 annually (standard rate for diesel vehicles registered before 2017). Insurance group is likely mid-range (estimated £500-£700 annually). Maintenance costs may rise due to age, with potential expenses for engine or transmission repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the 1.9L diesel engine for signs of wear, including oil leaks or excessive smoke. Inspect the electrical system for faults, as Zafiras are prone to wiring issues. Check the transmission for unusual noises or slipping. Verify that all MOT failures were resolved, and request proof of repairs. Examine the chassis and suspension for rust or damage, common in older vehicles.
The 2007 Vauxhall Zafira has covered 152,465 miles, with MOTs showing two failures between 2024-2025 despite no defects recorded. Its 1.9L diesel engine and silver colour are standard for the model. No aggregate reliability data exists, but the vehicle's history highlights maintenance concerns for a 19-year-old car.
No aggregate MOT data exists for the Vauxhall Zafira model, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends.
