2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · JO06 ADM

Brake and tyre wear are the primary recurring themes in this vehicle's history, with the most recent pass on 2026-07-23 flagging a need for attention to the rear braking system. While the overall record is relatively stable, there is a visible cycle of consumables reaching their limit, including repeated advisories for tyre tread and brake pad thickness over the last six years. The recorded mileage of 73,564 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,174 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning the mechanical components have been subjected to standard operational wear and tear. At this mileage, the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushes and braking components typically require their first or second major replacement cycle. Immediate attention is required for the rear braking system, as the July 2026 test explicitly noted pitted and scored discs along with thin brake pads. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or scraping sounds from the rear when braking and feel for any unusual pedal vibration or judder, which can indicate the surface condition of the discs. It is also necessary to verify if the front inner brake pads flagged in 2024 were replaced, as uneven wear on inner pads can sometimes point to sticking calipers. Tyre condition should be closely inspected, particularly the rear offside, which was previously noted as cracking or perishing in 2024. Check the current tread depth across all four tyres to ensure they are well above the legal limit, given the history of front tyres wearing close to the limit in both 2020 and 2024. Finally, confirm that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully operational, as this was the cause of the only major failure recorded in 2022.
