Our Verdict

This is a solid option for those seeking

When inspecting this 1.6L diesel Zafira, focus on the recent MOT history which shows no defects since late 2022. You should confirm that the nearside front and offside rear tyres mentioned in the 2022 MOT were replaced and that current tread depths are well within legal limits.

Given this is a diesel model, check for any signs of excessive smoke or unusual engine noise, although the MOT records do not indicate any current engine management issues. Ask the seller for evidence of regular oil changes, as maintaining the 1598cc engine is vital for long-term reliability. It is also worth checking the suspension components, as shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are common failure points for this model type across the wider fleet.

As a 1.6L diesel, this Zafira is designed for efficient motorway cruising, which likely contributes to its ability to cover its current mileage. You should check the specific Euro emissions standard to understand any potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in your area.

Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, but be mindful of the aggregate data suggesting suspension components like shock absorbers can require attention. Expect typical diesel servicing costs and insurance groups consistent with a mid-sized family MPV. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £1,200-£1,500 depending on your annual mileage and driving style.

Start by reviewing the tyre condition; the 2022 MOT highlighted wear on the nearside front and cracking on the offside rear. Ensure these have been addressed with quality replacements.

Secondly, pay close attention to the underside and suspension. While this specific vehicle has passed recently without issue, the aggregate data for Vauxhall Zafiras shows a trend of failures related to shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. A thorough test drive to check for knocks or uneven handling is highly recommended. Finally, check the dashboard for any warning lights, as engine management issues are a noted failure reason for this model type.

This 2017 silver Vauxhall Zafira has covered 81,770 miles since its first registration in August 2017. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent three tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 recording no defects. While there were tyre-related advisories in 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record for the last four years.

Aggregate data for this model shows a 75.4% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in the suspension (shock absorbers and anti-roll bars) and engine management systems.
