2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BX67 BEO

The vehicle presents a stable but maintenance-heavy profile, with the most recent test on 23 June 2026 at 170,716 miles showing a pass despite several advisories. The record indicates a recurring pattern of consumable wear, specifically regarding braking components and tyres. While the vehicle has passed its recent tests, the presence of pitted or scored front brake discs in both the June 2026 and July 2025 inspections suggests that while parts are being replaced, the underlying condition of the braking system requires regular monitoring. This 2018 Vauxhall Insignia has covered 170,716 miles, averaging approximately 21,340 miles per year. This high annual mileage explains the accelerated wear on components like brake pads and tyres. A significant mileage jump occurred between the January 2021 test at 90,638 miles and the May 2023 test at 136,696 miles, representing a gain of 46,058 miles over roughly two years. The consistent high-speed or long-distance usage pattern is evident in the frequent advisories for tyre perishing and brake disc degradation. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and potential fluid leaks. The June 2024 failure due to front brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick, combined with the 2024 advisory for an oil leak, suggests the vehicle requires attentive mechanical oversight. The oil leak was noted as not excessive in both the June 2024 failure and the subsequent pass, but its persistence warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay and sump to check for worsening seepage. The recurring advisories for tyre cracking and perishing in the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate that rubber components are reaching the end of their service life due to age or environmental exposure. Given the high mileage and the history of suspension bush wear noted in 2021, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages is necessary to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity and handling remain within safe parameters.
