Our Verdict
A reasonable purchase for those seeking
Ensure you review the full service history to confirm regular oil and filter changes for the 1.6L petrol engine. While the rear brake pads were replaced in July 2026 to pass the MOT, it is advisable to check the condition of the front brakes and tyres to gauge general maintenance patterns.
Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion on the underside. Use the recent brake failure as a prompt to ask for receipts of the work carried out to ensure quality parts were used.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy, though fuel costs will be higher than the diesel variants of this model. Insurance groups for the Zafira are typically mid-range, making it a cost-effective family vehicle.
Typical maintenance will involve periodic brake replacements and suspension work. Including fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing, the estimated annual cost is moderate for a vehicle of this size.
Pay close attention to the suspension system; aggregate data for the Zafira indicates that shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are frequent failure points. A test drive should focus on any knocks or instability over bumps.
Verify that the engine management light (MIL) illuminates correctly upon ignition and then turns off, as inoperative MILs are a known common failure for this model. Finally, confirm the rear brakes are operating smoothly following the repairs made in July 2026.
This black 2013 Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 petrol has recorded 98,823 miles, which is almost exactly in line with the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows a steady record of passes since 2023, with the most recent failure in July 2026 relating to worn rear brake pads, which were rectified for the subsequent pass.
The Zafira has an average MOT pass rate of 75.4%, with shock absorbers and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
