2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FE67 VFN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive consumable replacement. The most recent test in October 2025 at 53,465 miles passed, yet it introduced advisories for perishing and cracking on both front-side tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically capable of passing, components are reaching their age limit due to low usage rather than mileagerelated wear. At 53,465 miles over nine years, this Insignia has covered an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with annual intervals of roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles between 2021 and 2025. This low-frequency use pattern typically results in less stress on the engine and suspension components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and oxidation of brake surfaces, as seen in the 2025 tyre report. A buyer should scrutinise the braking system specifically, as the October 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads at 50,060 miles. Given the low mileage, these pads may have been replaced prematurely or suffered from seizing due to long periods of inactivity. The inspection should also focus on the condition of the tyre sidewalls, as the 2025 advisory suggests the rubber is drying out despite sufficient tread depth. No structural corrosion or mechanical failures were noted in the history, but a physical check of the underbody for rust remains standard for a vehicle of this age.
