2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · MC66 AFK

The Vauxhall Insignia shows a roadworthy status as of the 30 June 2025 MOT, where the tester issued a pass at 97,022 miles with no defects recorded. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage but also with no defects points to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. The maintenance trend remains stable across the available record, with no advisories or recurring faults logged from 2023 to 2025. Mileage rose from 54,580 at the 20 January 2023 test to 79,430 at the 1 July 2024 examination, then to 97,022 by 30 June 2025. This equates to roughly 17,000 miles per year across the recorded span, exceeding the circa 10,800 annual average for a 2017 car. The 17-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates the vehicle was presented late for its due date, though the subsequent annual retest occurred on time. Sparse recording before 2023 limits long-term wear assessment, but the clean results suggest basic upkeep was maintained. With no defects or advisories flagged in any test, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items. The Insignia's higher mileage demands close checks on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or wear. Examine subframe and sills for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The same-day fail and pass with zero defects warrants a DVLA record check to confirm no suppressed fault. Previous keeper behaviour appears compliant given the passes, yet the late 2024 presentation hints at intermittent neglect of test scheduling. Tyres and wiper blades will likely need replacement based on mileage accrued. Overall, the mechanical evidence supports a sound purchase subject to independent verification of the anomaly and routine consumable assessment.
