2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DP17 EYX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test in January 2026 at 50,290 miles saw an initial failure due to thin rear brake pads and worn front tyres. While the vehicle passed on the same day following these repairs, the presence of worn brake components and tyre-related defects suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached a legal failure point. At 50,290 miles over nine years, this Insignia has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows a period of inactivity between November 2022 and November 2023, where the car covered only 4,384 miles in fourteen months. However, usage increased sharply with over 14,000 miles between November 2023 and January 2026. This low-use profile often leads to rubber components degrading, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted noted in the 2023 test. A buyer should physically inspect the front tyres for uneven wear or alignment issues, as the record repeatedly flags them for being worn on the edges. The rear brake system requires close attention; although the pads were replaced after the 2026 failure, the discs were already noted as worn during that same test. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, check for significant corrosion on the brake lines and suspension bushings, which can suffer when a car sits stationary for long periods.
