Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Zafira, your priority should be the recent MOT failure points. Specifically, ask for evidence that the front oil leak noted in October 2025 has been professionally repaired and is no longer present. You should also inspect the front engine mount and the flexi-hose mentioned in the 2025 failure to ensure the repairs were comprehensive and not just a quick fix to pass the test.
Given the history of tyre issues in 2023 and 2025, check the remaining tread depth and condition of all four tyres. Since the 2024 MOT noted thin brake pads, verify if the braking system has been serviced recently. Always cross-reference the service history with the MOT advisories to see if the oil leak or engine mount issues were addressed by a garage or merely 'passed' after a temporary fix.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it a reasonable choice for family use. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically average for a compact MPV, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve routine items like tyres and brakes, as evidenced by this vehicle's history. You should budget for regular oil changes to monitor the leak mentioned in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, fall into a mid-range bracket for this vehicle type.
Focus heavily on the engine bay. The 2025 MOT failure specifically cited a front oil leak and damage to the front engine mount and flexi-hose; you must inspect these areas for any signs of residual oil residue or movement in the engine when idling.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The vehicle has a recorded history of tyres being worn to the limit (2023) or perishing/cracking (2025). Inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or bulging, particularly on the offside rear. Finally, verify that the nearside rear headlamp reflector, which was missing during the 2025 failure, has been correctly replaced.
This 2015 green Vauxhall Zafira has covered 56,172 miles, which is below the typical annual average for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-and-tear issues, including tyres and brake pads, alongside a more recent failure in October 2025 involving an oil leak and engine mount damage. The vehicle has passed its last test, but the recent defects suggest potential upcoming maintenance requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 75.4% average MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to suspension components like shock absorbers and anti-roll bars.
