2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · SA67 LWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 94,953 miles resulted in an initial failure due to missing road wheel fixings on two adjacent wheels. While these were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of multiple advisories regarding thin brake pads, pitted discs, and perishing tyres suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach legal or functional limits. At 94,953 miles, this nine-year-old Insignia averages approximately 10,550 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with an 11,114-mile interval between September 2024 and September 2025, and another 6,015 miles covered in the preceding year. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seal degradation, though the high mileage places significant demand on wear-and-tear items like the braking system and suspension-related rubber components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system and the condition of the tyres. The record shows a recurring issue with rear brake discs from 2022 through 2025, indicating either an environment prone to corrosion or a lack of frequent brake use. The advisory for cracking and perishing rear tyres at 94,953 miles suggests the rubber compound is reaching age-related failure regardless of remaining tread depth. Furthermore, the failure for missing wheel fixings in the most recent test necessitates a physical check of all wheel bolts and nuts to ensure the threads are not stripped or improperly torqued.
