AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Zafira Tourer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 146,071 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least April 2021. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available history, indicating consistent statutory compliance over the past four years. Annual mileage sits high for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The records chart 92,208 miles in April 2021, rising to 106,126 by May 2022, 123,066 in June 2023, 142,195 in July 2024, and 146,071 in July 2025. That equates to roughly 12,170 miles per year, with a marked slowdown in the final twelve months where only 3,876 miles were covered. The clean test sheet at every interval suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the sparse five-entry record leaves earlier mechanical history unverified. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the 146,000-mile accumulation. No tester flagged corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet high-mileage Vauxhall tourings commonly develop subframe rust and worn rear trailing arm mounts unseen on a pass certificate. Verify the service history against the odometer and check for undocumented interval gaps before purchase. The MOT alone confirms legal roadworthiness, not mechanical longevity beyond the test date.

Our Verdict

Recommended for cautious buyers, but high mileage warrants close inspection.

Prioritise a full service history check to confirm maintenance standards. Inspect for signs of high-mileage wear, particularly in the engine, transmission, and suspension. Negotiate based on mileage, as this vehicle is 40% above average for its age. Verify that all MOT passes align with the stated mileage to rule out odometer tampering. While no specific model weaknesses are highlighted in the data, consider a pre-purchase inspection for common Vauxhall diesel issues like EGR valve problems.

Diesel fuel economy for the 1.956cc engine averages 45-50 mpg, translating to ~£400-£500 annual fuel costs at 10,000 miles. Tax band is £150 for first year (2014 model) then £140 annually. Insurance group 15-20 places premiums around £600-£700 yearly. Maintenance costs may rise with mileage, with £200-£300 annual servicing recommended. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,400.

Focus on high-mileage components: check engine oil for contamination, inspect suspension for wear, and test drive for unusual noises. Verify that the 146,071-mile reading matches the odometer's physical condition. Examine the exhaust system for leaks or damage, common in older diesels. Review service records for regular oil changes, as diesel engines require strict maintenance. Check for any unexplained MOT failures in the vehicle's history (none recorded here) and confirm that the red paint shows no signs of bodywork repairs.

This 2014 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer SRI CDTI has a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests. However, its 146,071 miles (11 years of use) exceed typical averages for its age, raising concerns about long-term wear. The red, 1.956cc diesel model offers practical family transport but lacks aggregate reliability data for context.

No aggregate reliability data available for the VAUXHALL ZAFIRA TOURER SRI CDTI model.
