Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a mechanical check of the braking system, specifically the offside rear brake which was flagged as binding in both 2023 and 2025. You should also request evidence of any repairs carried out to address the oil leak in the engine sump area recorded during the October 2023 test.
Check the service history to see if the rear coil springs replaced in 2024 were fitted with genuine parts. Given the model's aggregate data, ensure there are no signs of corrosion on the underside of the vehicle, as this is a known common failure point for the Insignia.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for long-distance commuting. Tax and insurance will be typical for a large family saloon of this era, though costs can vary based on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for the class, but the MOT history suggests a need for regular brake attention. Expect annual costs to include diesel fuel, road tax, insurance, and a scheduled service.
Carefully inspect the rear brakes; the MOT history shows the offside rear brake has been binding across multiple years and the pads were noted as wearing thin in September 2025. A test drive should be used to check for any uneven braking or dragging sensations.
Look closely at the engine sump area for any signs of fresh oil leaks or residue, referencing the 2023 advisory. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and the rear suspension, as the vehicle has a history of fractured coil springs and a mix of tyre types (run-flats) noted in 2024.
This silver 2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6 diesel has recorded 78,798 miles. Its MOT history includes a failure in 2024 due to fractured rear coil springs and recurring advisories concerning rear brake binding and worn pads. A sump area oil leak was also noted in 2023.
The Insignia has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with coil springs, tyres, and corrosion being the most frequent causes of failure.
