2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · ML67 HDF

The most recent MOT, carried out on 14 November 2025 at 44 667 miles, failed. The vehicle is therefore not roadworthy. The trend is clearly worsening: tyre tread depths are repeatedly at or below legal limits, front brake pads are thin, the front drum shows wear, the brake pedal anti‑slip provision is missing, and both front shock absorbers leak oil. The TPMS warning light and headlamp failures also appear on the record. Mileage is low for a nine‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 5 500 miles per year. The record shows a 9 700‑mile jump between 23 April 2022 and 25 May 2023, followed by a 15 000‑mile increase to 17 October 2025. No sudden spikes beyond normal use are evident, but the gaps suggest periods of limited use or inactivity. The overall mileage pattern is clean, with no evidence of rapid accumulation that would indicate heavy wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyre condition, as both front and rear tyres have repeatedly been flagged for near‑legal limits or cracking. Brake pads are thin and the front drum is worn; the missing brake pedal anti‑slip provision is a serious safety concern. Front shock absorbers leak oil, signalling potential suspension wear. The TPMS warning light and headlamp failures require immediate attention. Inspect the headlamp aim and functionality, as the record shows failures in both dipped beam operation and aim testing. No structural or corrosion faults have been recorded, but the recurring tyre and brake issues point to ongoing maintenance needs. A thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension, tyre condition, and lighting is essential before purchase.
