2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV67 KXM

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the most recent MOT pass on 1 December 2025 at 145,281 miles. The inspection history shows a pattern of minor failures that were resolved immediately, as evidenced by the failed test on 27 November 2025 and the failed test on 3 April 2024, both of which resulted in passes within the same day. This suggests that the previous owner addressed minor non-compliance issues during the testing process rather than allowing them to develop into long-term mechanical trends. The mileage accumulation is significant for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2023 test at 96,401 miles and the December 2025 test at 145,281 miles, the car has covered 48,880 miles. This averages to approximately 19,500 miles per year, which exceeds the typical UK annual average. This high-intensity usage pattern places increased stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to a lower-mileage vehicle of the same age. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for corrosion, particularly on the rear axle and exhaust system, given the high mileage and potential exposure to road salt. While the MOT record is clean of structural or emissions advisories, the rapid mileage accumulation warrants a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature wear. The braking system should also be scrutinized. Although no binding calipers or worn discs were flagged in the recent records, the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of uneven pad wear or warped discs. Checking the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential, as the high mileage suggests the vehicle has likely reached the interval for major preventative maintenance.
