2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BU67 KZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2026 at 94,722 miles, it failed just one day prior due to critical failures in tyres and wheels. The tester identified significant structural damage to the tyres, including exposed cords and a bulge on the nearside front tyre, which suggests that the previous owner only addressed safety-critical components once they reached a point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical long-term use, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year over its nine-year life. The record shows steady annual accumulation, with the mileage rising from 79,772 miles in May 2024 to 88,242 in May 2025, and finally to 94,722 in May 2026. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally prevents internal-related issues, but the recurring failures show that consumables are being neglected between annual test intervals. A buyer must physically inspect the wheels and suspension assembly, as the offside rear wheel was flagged as distorted in the May 2026 test. This distortion often results from significant impact and could have compromised the alignment of wheel bearings or control arms. Furthermore, the 2025 failure highlights a history of deferred brake maintenance, with worn discs and thin pads noted. While these parts were likely replaced following that failure, the buyer should verify the quality of the work performed and check for any binding calipers or uneven wear on the current components.
