2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AJ64 FNH

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 recorded multiple issues despite a pass, including damaged front fog lamps, a damaged nearside front bumper corner, and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp. An oil leak, near-legal tyre wear on the offside rear inner tyre, and corrosion on rear coil springs, suspension arms, and the front sub-frame were also noted. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly with corrosion and tyre condition. A prior MOT on 2025-05-30 resulted in a failure, revealing more severe issues: brake pads near wear limits, scored brake discs, excessive wear on suspension components, and a binding nearside front service brake. This failure included all the issues from the later pass, plus additional brake and suspension concerns. The pattern indicates persistent problems with brakes, suspension corrosion, and tyre wear, which may signal underlying structural or mechanical degradation. The trend shows recurring corrosion on suspension components (coil springs, arms, sub-frame) and brake wear, with no clear improvement between 2024 and 2025. While the 2025-06-05 pass suggests some repairs were addressed, the proximity of the failure in May 2025 implies unresolved issues. The vehicle’s 99,245 miles (roughly 9,022 per year) aligns with typical usage for its age, but this mileage does not definitively indicate heavy use or under-use. Key risks include corrosion affecting suspension integrity, brake components nearing replacement, and tyres close to legal limits.
