2017 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA1.6L Diesel

The MOT record indicates a stable, unproblematic maintenance history. At the most recent test on 23 April 2025, the car passed at 127,254 miles with no defects recorded. This follows two clean passes, including one on 6 May 2024 at 102,124 miles. The failure recorded on that same day, 6 May 2024, carries no associated defect details and appears to have been cleared by immediate re-testing, so it does not suggest a mechanical concern. The mileage accumulation is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, sitting at roughly 14,139 miles per year. The rate has stepped up noticeably: the car covered about 20,000 miles between July 2022 and May 2023, then around 19,000 miles to May 2024, and roughly 25,000 miles in the eleven months to April 2025. That recent spike at just under 2,300 miles per month is sustained heavy use, likely prolonged motorway running rather than stop-start town driving. There are no significant gaps in the test history, and the annual pattern is consistent enough to suggest regular driving rather than long periods off the road. With every test returning a clean pass and no advisories ever recorded, there is no history of flagged suspension wear, brake binding, or structural corrosion. That gives a buyer confidence in the shell and major components, but at over 127,000 miles, the absence of fault codes in an MOT does not guarantee fresh consumables. The tester has not raised issues with brake discs, pads, tyres, or bushes, yet these items wear with mileage regardless of a clean pass. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on signs of brake disc lipping or pedal vibration, uneven tyre wear across an axle, and general condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers. High-mileage turbo-diesel engines of this age deserve a check for oil contamination, coolant level, and any turbocharger whine on a cold start. The record itself is reassuring, but the mileage means the buyer must verify the mechanical condition of wear-prone parts that MOT testing does not fully expose.
