Our Verdict
This 2014 Vauxhall Zafira is a reasonable option for those needing a practical MPV, provided the high mileage is factored into the price. While the recent MOT history is clean, the vehicle's age and usage patterns require careful inspection.
When viewing this specific Zafira, focus on the high mileage, which currently sits at 136,949 miles. You should request evidence of regular servicing to ensure the 1364cc petrol engine has been maintained despite the heavy usage. Check the service book for consistent oil changes and spark plug replacements.
Negotiate based on the mileage and the fact that this vehicle has been driven much more than the typical Zafira in our database. Look for any signs of wear in the interior, particularly the driver's seat and controls, which often show signs of heavy use in high-mileage MPVs. Ensure all electrics, including the infotainment and window regulators, are functioning correctly.
As a 1.4L petrol model, running costs are generally moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but petrol engines of this size typically offer a balance of economy and performance for family duties. You should check the specific tax band for this 2014 registration to confirm annual road tax costs.
Insurance groups for the Zafira vary, so obtaining a quote is essential. Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while the engine is straightforward, high-mileage components like suspension and brakes will require regular attention. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,200-£1,500, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension components. Specifically, inspect the shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the Vauxhall Zafira across our dataset. Check for any knocking sounds when driving over bumps.
Additionally, verify that all engine warning lights are functional and that no 'engine MIL inoperative' issues exist, as this is another common failure point for this model. Because this vehicle has covered over 136,000 miles, a thorough check of the braking system and tyre tread depth is also highly recommended.
This silver 1.4L petrol Zafira has covered 136,949 miles since its first registration in October 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing with no defects recorded in the last three successful tests, though it has experienced two failures in recent years. Given the vehicle's age, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,549 miles per year.
Aggregate data for the Vauxhall Zafira shows a 75.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to suspension components and engine warning lights.
