2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · TN02 ART

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to preventative monitoring. The most recent test in August 2025 at 58,457 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a worn rear brake disc. This represents an improvement over the August 2023 inspection where the car failed due to multiple critical tyre defects and an oil leak, suggesting the owner has addressed the immediate safety failures identified at that time. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 16,217 miles, indicating a steady and modest usage rate. This low annual mileage usually mitigates mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can sometimes lead to rubber-based components aging out over time, as seen with the structural failure of the four tyres recorded in 2023. A buyer should specifically inspect the gearbox and surrounding housing to ensure the oil leak flagged in 2023 has been properly sealed. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive, persistent minor leaks can lead to fluid loss issues if not monitored. Additionally, the rear brake discs require close attention as the 2025 advisory indicates they are nearing the end of their effective life. Given the history of uneven tyre wear in 2022 and structural failures in 2023, a check of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment is advisable to rule out premature tyre degradation.
