Vauxhall/Opel Zafira - Pitfalls

[rastapasta]

Morning All

I am considering the above as a family wagon and I am wondering what the consensus here is. The one I am specifically looking at is a 2014 model with all the trimmings and 200bhp. Now the drawback is that it has 100,000km on the clock. But is that a drawback in reality?? I don't really want to spend a whole lot on it but same time I don't want to completely cheap out and end up being left with a lemon. So would something like this be a good option?

Many thanks in advance.

its your choice but their reliability and recalls are well documented...buyer beware?

Given the choice I would always go for the equivalent Ford rather than Vauxhall (I was always a vauxhall man in the 90's but ford have overtaken them in terms of build quality and reliability I believe)

I've had two Zafiras, both new, the last one the bigger "tourer", the only thing that went wrong is the tourer had to have a new alternator which was fitted under warranty (With two days to go).

I was very pleased with both of them, but check yours has had the recall as some used to set on fire due to a fault behind the dashboard.
