Our Verdict
A recommended choice for those seeking a
When inspecting this Zafira, prioritise the service history of the 1.9L diesel engine, specifically looking for records of the timing belt replacement which is critical for this age of vehicle. Given the 2024 MOT failure involved a tyre bulge and a cut to the sidewall, check the current tyres to ensure they are of a reputable brand and have a consistent tread depth.
Negotiate based on any upcoming maintenance requirements. Since the vehicle is now over 13 years old, ensure that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been functioning correctly, especially if the car has been used for short city trips rather than the motorway miles typical for this engine size.
The 1.9L diesel engine is geared towards fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective option for high-mileage users. Tax and insurance costs will be typical for a mid-sized family MPV of this era, though you should verify the specific CO2 emissions band for this 2013 registration to confirm the annual road tax cost.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though diesel-specific components and the age of the vehicle may lead to occasional higher repair bills. Expect standard wear-and-tear costs for brakes and tyres.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and steering. Aggregate data for this model indicates that shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are common points of failure, so listen for knocks or clunks during a test drive. Check the dashboard for any illuminated warning lights, specifically the engine management light, which is a frequent issue across the model range.
Referencing the 2024 MOT failure, double-check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the tyre sidewalls. Ensure that the daytime running lamps, which were flagged as an advisory in 2024, are fully operational.
This white 2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.9L diesel has recorded 92,478 miles as of September 2025. Its MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, including a clean pass in its most recent 2025 test. While it suffered a failure in 2024, the issues were limited to tyres and wiper blades.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 75.4%, with frequent failures associated with shock absorbers and anti-roll bars.
