2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · PK67 FFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension component failure. The most recent test on August 13, 2025, at 42,237 miles, passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This indicates that while the mechanical failures are being addressed, basic consumable upkeep is beginning to lag as the vehicle remains in use. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 36,279 miles and August 2024 at 39,523 miles, the car covered only 3,244 miles in a year. This low usage often suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension due to the repeated coil spring failures. The record shows a fractured offside rear spring in 2023 at 36,279 miles and another broken rear spring in 2024 at 39,523 miles. These recurring faults suggest either a known weakness in this component or an alignment issue that is putting undue stress on the springs. You should also check for signs of premature shock absorber wear and ensure the bushings are not perished or torn. The advisory regarding the offside front tyre wear in the 2025 test necessitates a check of the front alignment, as wear on the edge typically points to incorrect camber or toe settings. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, which is common on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to keep the surfaces clean of rust.
