The VAUXHALL ZAFIRA (2005-15) 5DR MPV 2.2 16V ACTIVE AUTO is a practical seven-seat family MPV, rather than a hatchback or SUV. Its compact footprint and flexible cabin made it a familiar UK choice for households needing extra seats, school runs and holidays, while still being manageable around town. Unlike many smaller family cars, the Zafira’s folding third-row seats can accommodate occasional passengers or create carrying space. The 2.2-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox offer straightforward, relaxed driving, especially in traffic, though fuel economy is unlikely to match smaller petrol cars or diesel MPVs. It is best suited to families prioritising versatility over low running costs. mycarcheck.com records just two look-ups for this model and one VIN, so figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide: average private-sale value is £1,200, mileage 91,000, annual mileage 9,000 and previous keepers 2.5. Against compact MPV rivals, its seven-seat flexibility stands out.
