Reliability
The Vauxhall Zafira has an average MOT pass rate of 66.8%, which is 15.2 percentage points below the Vauxhall brand average of 82.0%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Zafira on the road.
The most common reasons a Vauxhall Zafira fails its MOT are brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, a lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning. If you are preparing your Zafira for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Vauxhall Zafira, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
