2014 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-24 shows a failure with three specific issues: a fractured offside rear coil spring, and both nearside and offside headlamps having incorrect aim. These defects indicate structural and safety concerns, particularly the fractured spring, which could compromise suspension integrity and handling. The headlamp aim issues may affect visibility and compliance with road safety standards. Previous MOTs show a mixed pattern. The 2025-08-19 test recorded a minor suspension bush wear (nearside front suspension arm), but no other defects. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 were fully passed with no issues. The 2026 failure is the first significant defect since 2025, suggesting a potential worsening trend in mechanical reliability, though the data spans only a short period. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,883 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 8,407 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use, but the recent failure highlights that component degradation can occur unpredictably. The fractured coil spring and headlamp issues may indicate neglect or sudden failure rather than gradual deterioration.
