2015 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward structural and component degradation. The most recent test in January 2026 at 131,651 miles passed despite the presence of corrosion on the rear subframe and a missing registration plate lamp. While the tester noted the corrosion was not seriously weakened, the appearance of rust on a structural component indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related wear will require closer monitoring to prevent future failure. At 131,651 miles over 11 years, the Insignia averages approximately 12,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with a 7,712-mile interval between February 2025 and January 2026, and a 17,049-mile gap between March 2024 and February 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than being left to sit for long periods. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear subframe to determine the depth of the corrosion flagged in the January 2026 test. Although covers were fitted, surface rust can quickly mask deeper pitting that compromises the structural integrity of the chassis over time. The failure in February 2025 due to thin rear brake pads and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system suggests that basic consumable maintenance was occasionally deferred until the MOT deadline. You should verify that the TPMS system is now fully functional and check the rear calipers for uneven wear or binding, as the history indicates previous issues in the braking area.
