The VAUXHALL ZAFIRA (1999-05) 5DR MPV 1.8I 16V SRI is a compact, family-focused MPV: taller and more adaptable than a conventional hatchback, but easier to place than a large people carrier. Its clever folding rear seats can provide space for up to seven, making it a practical choice for school runs, family trips and occasional extra passengers. mycarcheck.com has recorded 18 look-ups across 13 different VINs for this model, a useful but modest sample. In those checks, average most recent mileage was 122,000, annual mileage 7,000 and previous keepers 5.6. The average private-sale valuation was £500, so treat that as a snapshot of checked cars, not a guaranteed price; age, condition and history matter greatly. The 1.8-litre petrol Sri suits buyers wanting straightforward family space and a more lively-looking trim, rather than the lowest running costs. Against compact MPV rivals, its seven-seat flexibility is its enduring calling card in class.
