2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.4L Petrol · FE17 EFG

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 shows conflicting outcomes: one entry states "PASSED" with minor issues (oil leak, coolant leak, and tyre damage), while another records "FAILED" with the same issues plus a non-functional Engine MIL. This inconsistency suggests potential errors in the MOT record or unresolved defects. The vehicle’s age (9 years) and mileage (73,469 miles, ~8,163 miles per year) align with typical usage for its age, but the recurring mechanical issues raise concerns. Recurring defects include oil and coolant leaks, which may indicate aging seals, gaskets, or hoses. Tyre damage (cracking/perishing) has persisted since 2023, with both rear tyres affected, suggesting possible neglect or exposure to harsh conditions. The 2026 failed MOT also highlights a non-functional Engine MIL, a safety risk as it could prevent early detection of engine faults. These issues, while not immediately critical, point to ongoing maintenance challenges. The trend shows intermittent problems rather than a clear worsening or improvement. A clean 2025 MOT suggests temporary stability, but the 2026 results indicate a return to defects. The mileage is neither unusually high nor low, so wear is likely proportional to age, but repeated leaks and tyre issues may signal under-maintenance.
