2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BN17 JYJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test in November 2025 at 104,597 miles showed a failure due to an inoperative headlamp levelling device and dashboard malfunction. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the tester flagged worn front brake discs on both sides. This indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its functional life, requiring attention to prevent further degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a steady usage of roughly 8,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 8,200 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not been left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the high annual mileage puts standard strain on the suspension bushings and drivetrain components. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and alignment, given recurring issues with tyre wear in 2022 and 2023. Multiple tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, which often points to tracking issues or worn control arm bushes. The history of thin rear brake pads in 2023 and worn front discs in 2025 necessitates a thorough physical check of the entire braking assembly to ensure no calipers are binding or showing excessive corrosion on the steel lines.
