2018 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer Sri Nav Turbo

This 2018 Zafira Tourer sits right at the UK average with a 79.9% first-time pass rate, suggesting it's neither particularly robust nor problematic relative to other vehicles its age. The complete absence of dangerous defects recorded across 105 vehicles is genuinely reassuring for a family car, and the low failure rate of just 0.12 per vehicle indicates most problems are minor when they do occur.

The zero advisories on average is slightly unusual and suggests either this cohort has been well-maintained or the data reflects a relatively small sample—either way, before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the turbocharger and timing chain, the two most common wear items on this engine.
