2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · BJ17 AAZ

The vehicle is currently not in a roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test expired on 23 November 2021. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the limited data, with the final test at 120,770 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects recorded. However, the lack of any testing for nearly five years indicates the car has likely been stationary or neglected since late 2021. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,419 miles per year. The record shows a significant increase of 19,278 miles between the November 2020 test at 101,492 miles and the November 2021 test at 120,770 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy motorway use, which typically puts more strain on the drivetrain and suspension than urban driving. A buyer must prioritise a full mechanical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The November 2020 test flagged a stepped inner edge on the offside rear tyre, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the long period of inactivity since 2021, the tyres may have developed flat spots or perished, and the brake calipers could be seized. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the engine fluids. Long-term standing often leads to corrosion in exposed areas and the degradation of rubber seals. A fresh oil change and a thorough check for leaks are essential before returning this vehicle to the road.
