2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FE67 VFB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT on 6 June 2026 at 114,252 miles. This recent pass indicates an improving trend in maintenance following a significant failure in the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed multiple critical defects, the lack of recorded in the most recent inspection suggests the owner has addressed the immediate safety concerns and brought the vehicle back to a passing standard. At 114,252 miles over nine years, this Insignia has averaged approximately 12,700 miles per annum, which sits slightly above the national average for a passenger car. The data shows consistent and high usage, particularly between June 2024 and June 2025 when the vehicle covered roughly 17,215 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests frequent motorway use. High mileage typically places accelerated stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware, which aligns with the wear patterns noted in the service history. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the June 2025 test flagged thin inner brake pads on both front sides. Although these were seemingly rectified before the 2026 test, the high mileage increases the likelihood of seized caliper pistons or uneven disc wear. The 2025 failure also highlighted deep cuts reaching the ply cords on the offside front and rear tyres, indicating a previous neglect of basic consumable safety checks. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for further damage and a check of the suspension geometry are essential to ensure the high-mileage usage has not caused structural misalignment or premature failure of rubber components.
