2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · B11 HWT

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre condition. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 100,503 miles passed, it flagged a corroded offside rear coil spring and worn rear upper suspension arm bushes. These specific issues were already noted in the September 2024 test at 93,559 miles, indicating that the owner neglected to address mechanical wear despite repeated warnings. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,375 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,300 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests typical use rather than long periods of stationary, though the low mileage relative to age means that degradation of rubber components and suspension springs is likely due to environmental corrosion rather than high mileage alone. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the recurring reports of a corroded coil spring and worn bushes suggest a systemic failure of these components. The transition from an offside front tyre advisory in 2024 to a nearside front inner tyre warning in 2025 indicates a failure to maintain proper alignment or replace tyres proactively. The buyer should also check the front brake pads and discs, as the 2022 record already flagged the offside pads as thin at 81,360 miles.
