The VAUXHALL ZAFIRA (1999-05) 5DR MPV 2.0 16V DTI COMFORT is a compact, five-door family MPV: a practical alternative to a conventional hatchback, with a taller cabin and flexible seating for everyday family life. In the UK it helped make people carriers feel more car-like and affordable. Its defining advantage is space: the clever fold-away third-row seats can carry up to seven people without taking up room when not needed. The 2.0-litre diesel suits family duties and regular longer journeys, while its higher driving position and easy access make it useful for school runs and holidays. It competes with the Renault Scenic and Citroën Xsara Picasso, standing out for its adaptable cabin and straightforward, practical approach. mycarcheck.com recorded 86 look-ups covering 73 different VINs; sampled cars averaged 140,000 miles, 9,000 miles annually and just over three previous keepers.
