2017 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · TP04 KFP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in September 2025 at 162,927 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive but stable. While the car failed two days prior for a fractured offside rear coil spring and insufficient washer fluid, these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass. The lack of defects in the most recent test suggests that the owner addresses mechanical failures once they are officially flagged, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 162,927 miles over nine years, this Insignia has covered a high annual average of approximately 18,100 miles. The data shows consistent patterns of heavy usage, with roughly 24,000 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 23,800 miles in the year following. This sustained high-mileage profile typically places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistency of the mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance travel rather than sitting stationary. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and tyres, given the recurring history of tyre issues. Records from 2022, 2023, and 2025 all highlight tyres worn to the legal limit or perishing, which may indicate poor alignment settings or delayed replacement cycles. The fractured coil spring noted in 2025 further suggests that suspension components are reaching the end of their fatigue life due to the high mileage. Physical inspection for worn bushings and leaking shock absorbers is essential to ensure the high-mileage use has not caused structural degradation beyond what the MOT tester detects.
