Faults:

Clutch, oil leak, and the engine management light has recently come on.

Elite Zafira Tourer - a much more sorted car than earlier Zafira's.

Acres of space, Elite model has the lot - leather and all electrics.

Fantastic driving position and good to drive for an MPV. Comfort is top notch for any passenger.

1.6 CDTi is economical at around 45 - 50 mpg realistically, forget claims of 60 + mpg, you'll never get that unless the vehicle is empty and you cruise on the motorway for hours. Also unsure of its reliability long term - yes it is older now with decent mileage, but looked after it should handle it no problem, I have had high mileage diesels in the past that were OK, but have read horror stories of this particular car's reliability being poor. Hopefully my mechanic can fix the recent engine light coming on - seems to not affect how it drives, so hopefully nothing serious.

Still, for a cheap used buy a couple of years ago, it has been an economical family vehicle and still feels as though there is life left in it for another year or so.

Faults:

Turbo, brakes, exhaust. All repaired for a reasonable price.

Red Zafira Tourer. Not a car that gets anyone excited, but in this color in SRi spec I have had a good time with this vehicle.

Very smart exterior appearance continues inside. Massive amount of room and plenty of electric features.

Good to drive. 1.4T petrol engine is something of a rare engine in this vehicle as most are the diesel engines. This petrol engine offers more refined performance and still manages close to 40 mpg on average. Apart from that turbo failing, it has been a reliable engine.

If you need a large family MPV at a nice price, you could do a lot worse than one of these. Aim to buy a low mileage cared for car. Be aware there are many rough examples out there that have had heavy family use.
