Our Verdict
This 2014 Vauxhall Zafira shows a mixed
When inspecting this Zafira, examine the service history closely to see how regularly components like brakes and suspension parts have been maintained. Negotiate on the price to account for the advisory items noted in the January 2026 MOT, specifically the worn, pitted or scored front brake discs and the centre section exhaust gas leak.
Verify whether the track rod end ball joint (which had excessive play in January 2026 and slight play in January 2025) has been fully resolved or if further alignment work is needed. Given that the January 2025 test also caught an ABS fault, ensure all dashboard warning lights clear correctly upon startup and do not reappear during a test drive.
Equipped with a 1796cc petrol engine, this Zafira sits in a moderate insurance group and incurs standard UK vehicle excise duty rates for petrol cars of this era. Fuel economy will vary depending on urban versus motorway use, typical for a mid-sized multi-purpose vehicle.
Maintenance costs should factor in regular replacement of consumable items like brake discs, pads, and tyres—all of which have appeared as advisories or test failures in recent MOT records. Expect a typical annual running cost covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance to sit around £1,200-£1,500.
Pay close attention to the front axle, where the January 2026 MOT noted worn, pitted or scored brake discs on the inside edge, and the exhaust system, which had a minor gas leak on the centre section. Check the steering components for any play or knocking, following the previous MOT notes regarding the offside front track rod end.
Inspect the battery housing to ensure the securing mechanism noted in the 2026 test failure has been properly tightened. Additionally, check all tyres for even tread wear across the edges, as previous tests flagged near-limit tyre wear on the offside front.
First registered in March 2014, this silver Vauxhall Zafira with a 1796cc petrol engine has covered 81,235 miles, tracking close to the national average for its age based on model statistics. Its MOT record includes failures in both January 2026 and January 2015, alongside advisories noting worn brake components, tyre wear, and track rod end play. While it secured passes after rectification, the recurring suspension and braking attention points mean thorough checks are essential before purchase.
The Vauxhall Zafira model has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 75.4%, with common failure points typically involving shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and engine warning lamps.
