2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BU67 DDK

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 showed the vehicle passed with a note that the rear brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This indicates ongoing brake system degradation, though not critical at this stage. The 2024-09-13 MOT revealed a significant failure, including a fractured nearside front road wheel, cracked offside rear rim, and a faulty tyre pressure monitoring system. These issues suggest structural or electrical problems that require immediate attention. The subsequent 2024-09-16 MOT passed with a minor oil level anomaly, but the earlier failure highlights inconsistent maintenance or unresolved defects. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake wear (thin pads in 2023, worn disc in 2025) and wheel-related issues (cracked rims in 2024). The 2024 failure involved multiple safety-critical defects, including structural wheel damage, which could compromise handling or lead to sudden failure. While the 2025 MOT showed improvement, the persistence of brake wear and the prior wheel defects indicate a trend of gradual deterioration rather than a single incident. The vehicle’s condition appears to be stabilizing slightly, but underlying issues like brake component fatigue and wheel integrity remain concerns. The recorded mileage of 94,677 miles over 9 years equates to roughly 10,520 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
