2017 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA1.6L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 29,682 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 3,298 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 18,149 miles in February 2022 to 29,682 miles by January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing cycle that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or prolonged periods of abandonment. While the lack of MOT advisories is positive, the low mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicle stagnation. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as brakes often seize when a car is underused. The tyres should be checked for age-related cracking or flat spots, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts can perish over time even without high mileage. I recommend a physical check of the fluid levels and a test drive to ensure the battery and alternator are functioning correctly, as low-use vehicles often suffer from premature battery failure. The structural integrity appears sound based on the absence of corrosion flags in the DVSA record.
