2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BN63 PAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of deferred basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 138,286 miles passed, the tester flagged an advisory for a nearside tyre worn to the inner edge. This mirrors a previous advisory from June 2023 where the offside front tyre was also noted for uneven wear, suggesting a persistent issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that remains unaddressed. At 138,286 miles over 13 years, the Insignia averages approximately 10,600 miles annually, which aligns with national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with 14,969 miles covered between May 2025 and May 2026, and roughly 6,500 miles in the preceding year. However, the failure in July 2024 at 116,764 miles due to exposed cords on the offside tyre indicates that the previous owner ignored tyre condition until it reached a critical safety failure point. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components to identify the cause of the repeated tyre wear observed over three years. Check for worn ball joints, control arm bushes, and struts, as these frequently cause the uneven edge wear recorded. The May 2025 advisory regarding thin front brake pads necessitates a physical check of the current pad thickness and disc condition to ensure they were replaced. Additionally, the body damage to the offside front door noted in May 2026 should be inspected for structural integrity and potential water ingress that could lead to internal corrosion.
