How often should I replace the cabin air filter in my Vauxhall Zafira Life?

I have recently purchased a Vauxhall Zafira Life and I'm wondering how often I should replace the cabin air filter? I have noticed that the air coming through the vents has a strange smell and I'm not sure if it's related. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is recommended to replace the cabin air filter in your Vauxhall Zafira Life every 12,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

If you are experiencing a strange smell in the air coming through the vents, it could be a sign that your cabin air filter needs to be replaced. I suggest replacing it more frequently, every 8,000 miles or every 6 months.

Replacing the cabin air filter is an easy and important maintenance task for your Vauxhall Zafira Life. I recommend checking it every 6 months and replacing it if it appears dirty or clogged.
