2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BU65 OEO

The most recent MOT on 11 July 2022 at 134,756 miles recorded a pass, yet the tester flagged the off‑side rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit, indicating that tyre wear remains a recurring concern. Across the eight‑year record the vehicle has avoided outright failures after the 2019‑05‑30 rejection, suggesting a generally stable maintenance pattern, but the persistence of tyre‑related advisories points to a modestly deteriorating trend in that area. At 134,756 miles the 2015 Insignia averages roughly 12,250 miles per year, well above the typical UK usage for a car of its age. Between the 30 May 2020 test (106,226 miles) and the 11 July 2022 test the mileage rose by 28,530 miles in just over twenty months, a rapid accumulation that aligns with the earlier jump from 80,755 miles in May 2019 to 106,226 miles in November 2020. No significant mileage gaps appear in the record, but the absence of any MOT entries after mid‑2022 leaves a four‑year window without official verification, raising questions about recent upkeep. A prospective buyer should give the rear off‑side tyre a thorough visual and tread‑depth inspection, confirming that sidewall integrity is intact and that the remaining tread meets the 1.6 mm minimum. The 2021‑06‑28 note on a corroded off‑side rear coil spring warrants a check of the rear suspension for rust, cracked bushes, or compromised spring condition. While brakes have not been flagged, the vehicle’s high mileage and tyre wear merit a full brake system assessment, including pad thickness and disc condition. Finally, a general survey for corrosion on chassis rails and under‑body panels will help verify that structural integrity has not been undermined by the vehicle’s intensive use.
