2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FE67 VFY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite minor recurring consumable issues. The most recent test in June 2025 at 98,483 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted front tyres showing uneven edge wear. This follows a brief failure in August 2024 regarding a nearside front windscreen wiper, which was rectified to achieve a subsequent pass. The history suggests the owner is reactive in addressing faults once they are flagged during annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with high-use patterns, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between September 2022 at 82,497 miles and June 2025 at 98,483 miles, the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles, indicating regular and heavy road use. This level of mileage places significant demand on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies. There are no significant gaps in the MOT testing schedule, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of neglect. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the edge wear recorded in the 2025 test often indicates misalignment or worn bushes and tie rod ends. The perishing of the nearside rear tyre noted in 2022 suggests potential rubber degradation over age, which warrants a thorough check of all remaining tyres. Given the near-100,000-mile mark, a physical evaluation of brake disc thickness and the condition of the shocks is essential to ensure that major mechanical failure is not imminent.
