What was their Japanese name? 

Congratulations on the purchase, she looks very tidy. AVAS as we all know, except the ones that are actually serviced and cleaned occasionally.

In Japan they were sold as the Subaru Traviq,

This is the tidiest Zafira I’ve seen in a while, the previous owner was an elderly gentleman who was very anal with servicing it. It had a new cambelt 2k miles ago. He owned it since 2005. Service history is as thick as the bible

Looking through the service history, kind of remarkable that someone would take this good care of a Vauxhall
