Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise an investigation into the oil leak mentioned in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT records; while described as 'not excessive', its persistence suggests a long-term issue. You should negotiate the price to account for the immediate need to replace all four brake pads and the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, both of which were flagged in June 2026.
Check the service history specifically for wheel alignment records. The MOT failures and advisories in 2023 and 2025 both highlight tyres worn on the inner edges, which often indicates an alignment problem that, if left unaddressed, will lead to further premature tyre replacement costs.
As a 1.7L diesel, this Zafira offers reasonable fuel economy for a family MPV, though maintenance costs are likely to rise given its age and mileage. Insurance groups for this model are typically mid-range, and road tax will be based on its 2011 CO2 emissions bracket.
Given the current MOT advisories for brakes and suspension, combined with the ongoing oil leak, buyers should budget for immediate remedial work. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely maintenance required for this specific vehicle, are estimated at £1,200-£1,500.
Perform a thorough inspection of the engine bay and underside to locate the oil leak referenced in the last three MOT tests. Check the front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers; these have been recorded as 'severely deteriorated' in both 2025 and 2026, suggesting they are now due for replacement.
Inspect the tread depth and wear patterns of all four tyres, specifically looking for the inner edge wear noted in previous years. Finally, verify the condition of the brake pads, as the June 2026 MOT explicitly stated that pads on the nearside front, nearside rear, offside front, and offside rear are all wearing thin.
This blue 2011 Vauxhall Zafira diesel has covered 122,811 miles. The MOT history reveals a recurring oil leak noted in three consecutive years and a pattern of tyres wearing prematurely on the inner edges. Most recently, the vehicle has been flagged for thinning brake pads across all four wheels and deteriorating suspension dust covers.
The Zafira has an average MOT pass rate of 75.4%, with anti-roll bar components appearing as a top reason for failure across the model range.
