2017 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DU67 XJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening after several clean years. While the car maintained a perfect record in 2022 and 2023, the most recent test in September 2025 identified multiple defects related to suspension and tyres. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where significant mechanical components are requiring attention due to the high usage levels. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 23,500 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered over 53,000 miles in just twelve months. Since then, it has added another 53,000 miles to reach the current reading. Such a rapid accumulation of mileage places extreme strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension-related hardware. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the 2025 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arms. Although these did not result in a failure, they are indicative of significant wear given the high mileage. The buyer should also verify the condition of all tyres, as both rear tyres were noted to be worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, potentially suggesting an alignment issue. Furthermore, the history shows recurring issues with registration plate lighting and condition, which have recently been addressed. Given the extreme mileage, an inspection should also check for signs of oil leaks and excessive wear on braking components. It is vital to Ensure that the service history matches this high mileage, as the MOT record alone only confirms basic safety compliance and not the internal health of the engine or gearbox.
